Hoi,
As Noel already mentioned, it's from the Song of Roland. See here,
the beginning of this old french version:

"Charles the King, our great emperor"
(and the rest I can only guess at. It's referring to King Chuck the Great, Karl
der Gross, Charlemagne. Or if you like, the Great and Magnificent King Upchuck.
:) ) It's not Spanish; I thought it had a touch of Occitan/Catalan, but I could
be wrong.

A translation would be most helpful. It looks like a mixture
of Spanish and Mediaevel French...ah, it is the La Chanson de
Roland.

Yesterday, indeed, I got an obviously misdirected email on my work
account, I clicked on a link in it to try to figure out what had gone
wrong, and found myself on a page informing me that $EMPLOYER had just
phished me, and I was being sent to a re-education camp (well, in fact
I just had to look at some slides and answer questions). Of course,
it's very difficult to train people out of being careless and
impulsive.
