'Tis an old saying, the Devil lurks behind the cross. All is not gold that glitters. From the tail of the plough, Bamba was made King of Spain and from his silks and riches was Rodrigo cast to be devoured by the snakes.

    'एक पुरानी कहावत है, शैतान क्रूस के पीछे छिप जाता है। हर वो चीज़ जो चमकती है, सोना नहीं होती। हल की पूँछ से, बाम्बा को राजा का राजा बनाया गया था और उनके रेशों और धन से कृन्गो को साँपों द्वारा खाए जाने के लिए कास्ट किया गया था।

    Totumque rubeat asperi proverbio antiquo dicitur: Diabolus crucem post subesse puto. omnes qui micat non est aurum. Cauda ab aratro Bamba Hispaniarum constitutus est a divitiis sericis Roderici misit ad devorandum serpentes.

    't is een oud gezegde, de duivel schuilt achter het kruis. niet alles dat glinstert is goud. van de staart van de ploeg werd bamba koning van spanje gemaakt en van zijn zijde en rijkdom werd rodrigo geworpen om door de slangen te worden verslonden.

    det är ett gammalt ordstäv, djävulen lurar bakom korset. allt är inte guld som glittrar. Från plogens svans gjordes bamba till kung i Spanien och från hans silke och rikedom kastades rodrigo för att slukas av ormarna.
