Cantiga 183 - Pesar a Santa Maria

Alfonso X el Sabio (Toledo, 1221 - Sevilla, 1284) - Alphonse X of Castile, The Wise
Intérpretes/Performers: Música Ibérica de Holanda
Esta es de un milagro que mostró Santa María en Faro, cuando era de moros.
"Da pesar a Santa María quien, por deshonrarla, hace mal a su imagen, y Ella se lo castiga."
De esto diré un milagro que la Virgen Santa María hizo, en Faro, en tiempo de Abén Mahfudha que tenía el reino del Algarve, en aquel tiempo, a guisa de hombre esforzado, tanto en la guerra como en la paz.
En aquel castillo había una imagen, como he aprendido, de la Virgen muy gloriosa, hecha como os diré, de piedra, bien figurada, y que estaba, como de cierto he hallado, en la ribera del mar, frente a él, de cara.
Ya del tiempo de los cristianos se sabía que estaba allí, y, por eso, los cautivos iban siempre a adorarla, y, por esta razón, nombraban "Santa María" a la villa de Faro, pero el pueblo malvado de los moros que allí había tuvo gran pesar por ello, y la echaron al mar, sañudos, con gran desprecio; mas un gran milagro mostró sobre esto la Virgen que tiene el mundo bajo su mando, y a quien desagrada la soberbia.
Porque hizo que ningún pescado pudieran volver a coger, mientras dejaran que aquella imagen siguiese yaciendo en el mar.
Los moros, cuando tal vieron, fueron a levantarla, y la pusieron en el muro, de frente, entre las almenas.
Desde entonces, tanto pescado tuvieron que nunca había habido tanto, como he oído decir a moros y cristianos, que me lo contaron a mí.
Por ello, loemos a la Virgen, en la que tanto bien yace.
This is about a miracle which Holy Mary performed in Faro* when it belonged to the Moors.
"He who insults Her image greatly grieves Holy Mary, and She punishes him severely."
Concerning this, I shall tell of a miracle which the Holy Virgin Mary performed in Faro in the times of Aben Mafon*, who ruled the kingdom of the Algarve then as a courageous man in times of war or peace.
In that fortress there was a statue, as I learned, of the Glorious Virgin, made, as I shall describe for you, of skillfully carved stone. It was standing, as I found out for certain, on the shore facing out to sea.
It was known to have stood there ever since the time of the Christians, and hence the captives always prayed to it. They named the city Holy Mary of Faro for this reason.
However, the wicked moorish folk who were there resented this greatly and angrily threw it into the sea with great scorn. However, the Virgin, who holds the world in Her power and abhors arrogance, performed a great miracle because of this.
She caused them not to be able to catch any fish while they left that statue lying in the water. The Moors, when they saw this, raised it out of there and put it on the wall between the merlons.
From then on they caught more fish there than they had ever caught before, as I heard from Moors and Christians who told me the tale. Therefore, let us praise the Virgin in whom such beneficence lies.
Faro: This is a port city on the southern coast of Portugal, capital of the province of Algarve.
Aben Mafon: This is Musa ibn Muhammad ibn Nusair ibn Mahfudh, king of Niebla* and vassal of Alfonso X until Alfonso's conquest of Niebla in 1262.
*Niebla: Town and municipality located in the province of Huelva, in Andalusia, Spain

I'm proud descendant of the Portuguese, it's nice to hear such ancient music of my people. Thank you

[@stag3coach521]

This music is from Spain, not for Portugal.

Tainá Leguizamon Alfonso X el sabio, King of Leon, Castile and Galicia. He used the Galician-Portuguese Language in his songs.

@@ruiantonio3010 Catalans and galicians are also spanish. They say portuguese no bueno instead. A galician would rather cut his hand before becoming portuguese.

Uma semelhança incrível com o milagre de Aparecida aqui no Brasil.

[@oboligo0]

Mas muitos séculos antes do milagre de aparecida.

Ces chants sublimes qui, bien qu'imprégnés d’une religiosité incontestable, peuvent être appréciés par des personnes très éloignées des prémices transcendantaux et religieux. La musique est par essence sacrée, principalement un divin cadeau pour les sens ici !

[@robertforrester578]

thank you.

[@KawauMusic]

I love this music! Great!

Linda canção, porém ficaria melhor se fosse interpretada por alguém que falasse galego ou português. Nesta canção sente-se muito a influência de língua germânica(flamengo acho) na dicção. Mas é bom de ouvir👍🏿
