Hello, can anyone help me transcribe this song? I'm almost getting it, but the portuguese accent is hard to undertand and can't get done some verses. I can send my transcription if it will help.

(*edit. My transcription:)

Já estão postos frente a frente
Os campos mouro e cristão,
De um lado o rei Maluco,
Do outro Sebastião

Moço animoso e valente,
Robusto e determinado,
Embora pouco experiente
E não bem aconselhado

Já os mouros atropelam
Sua hoste tão servante,
Que apara qualquer dos seus
Mais de vinte batalhōes

Ardendo em fogo seu peito,
Arde por lhes por a mão,
Pensa que todos são nada
O bravo Sebastião.

Brama que ataquem os mouros
E o exército contrário,
Já se vão chegando perto
A eles por Santiago

Dispara a artilharia,
A nossa mal disparando,
Empunham picas os mouros
Já fugindo dos lugares

Já mataram a Maluco e
Já o levou o diabo,
Porque junto da liteira
O passaram do balazio

...
...
Tocam pujante vitória,
Que um milagre parecia

(* " ... " means verses that i can't transcribe)

Did you open transcriptions yet? Is it this? https://lyricstranslate.com/en/maio-mo%C3%A7o-romance-de-alc%C3%A1cer-qu...

Are you asking for the whole album or multiple songs?
The request you have just opened two days ago, you have to wait at least 30 days before you come to the forums to ask for help.
What have you transcribed so far? If you have anything, please add it in this thread. This way, others can help correct or fill it parts you're missing.

Yea, it is. I'm asking only for one song, as i'd said. I can remove this post and wait 30 days if it is necessary, or else i can add my transcription on the post.

I was surprised to see such a recent thread when I searched the lyrics to this song! I would be very thankful for a transcript as well.

Yea, i'm surprised too to be the only one on this site requesting for it. Keep an eye on this post and more of mine, 'cause i'll do more from Maio Moço. I'm planning to do a portugal musical bibliography with lyrics to sing along focused on Maio Moço.
