José

 Composição: G. Moustaki / Versão: Nara Leão / by Rita Lee

Look what’s happend, my good Joseph

Falling in love with this malden

Within all the most beautiful

Of all the Galilee

To marry Deborah or Sarah

My good Joseph you could have

And none of this would have happened

But you had to love Maria

You could have simply been

A working carpenter

And never have to be exiled

And hide away with Maria

My good Joseph you could have

Had many children with Maria

And teach them all your craft

Like your father always did

I wonder why, my good Joseph

This poor son of yours, one day

Began to have strange ideas

That made Maria cry

My good Joseph you could have

Had many children with Maria

And teach them all your craft

Like your father always did

I wonder why, my good Joseph

This poor son of yours, one day

Began to have strange ideas

That made Maria cry

I remember you sometimes

My good Joseph my poor friend

Who only wanted from this life

To be happy with Maria
