        And the Aztecs were just a peace loving tribe living in harmony with their neighbors. Forget about those pesky human sacrifices.

        Perhaps you are right. The original was not in spanish nor english : was in nahuatl. And nobody will ever know how it sounded in its original language.

        The Spaniards brought with them gunpowder, European diseases, and plenty of local, anti-Aztec allies. Read up on Cuitlahuac, Cuahutemoc, La Noche Triste, and Malintzin.
