There's a wonderful CD of cantigas, including the ones by Martin Codax, called "Cantigas de Amigo" recorded by the Alcatraz Ensemble with the Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble. It's on the Dorian label and Amazon have it.

"Last night, among his fellow roughs,
He jested, quaff'd and swore."

They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!
