Don Quixote — Chapter 116 in Spanish
By Miguel de Cervantes
La mujer de don Antonio Moreno cuenta la historia que recibió grandísimo contento de ver a Ana Félix en su casa. The wife of Don Antonio Moreno, so the history says, was extremely happy to see Ana Felix in her house. Recibióla con mucho agrado, así enamorada de su belleza como de su discreción, porque en lo uno y en lo otro era estremada la morisca, y toda la gente de la ciudad, como a campana tañida, venían a verla. She welcomed her with great kindness, charmed as well by her beauty as by her intelligence; for in both respects the fair Morisco was richly endowed, and all the people of the city flocked to see her as though they had been summoned by the ringing of the bells.
Dijo don Quijote a don Antonio que el parecer que habían tomado en la libertad de don Gregorio no era bueno, porque tenía más de peligroso que de conveniente, y que sería mejor que le pusiesen a él en Berbería con sus armas y caballo; que él le sacaría a pesar de toda la morisma, como había hecho don Gaiferos a su esposa Melisendra. Don Quixote told Don Antonio that the plan adopted for releasing Don Gregorio was not a good one, for its risks were greater than its advantages, and that it would be better to land himself with his arms and horse in Barbary; for he would carry him off in spite of the whole Moorish host, as Don Gaiferos carried off his wife Melisendra.
— Advierta vuesa merced —dijo Sancho, oyendo esto— que el señor don Gaiferos sacó a sus esposa de tierra firme y la llevó a Francia por tierra firme; pero aquí, si acaso sacamos a don Gregorio, no tenemos por dónde traerle a España, pues está la mar en medio. "Remember, your worship," observed Sancho on hearing him say so, "Senor Don Gaiferos carried off his wife from the mainland, and took her to France by land; but in this case, if by chance we carry off Don Gregorio, we have no way of bringing him to Spain, for there's the sea between."
— Para todo hay remedio, si no es para la muerte —respondió don Quijote—; pues, llegando el barco a la marina, nos podremos embarcar en él, aunque todo el mundo lo impida. "There's a remedy for everything except death," said Don Quixote; "if they bring the vessel close to the shore we shall be able to get on board though all the world strive to prevent us."
