Joseph(original) |
Voilà c’que c’est, mon vieux Joseph |
Que d’avoir pris la plus jolie |
Parmi les filles de Galilée |
Celle qu’on appelait Marie |
Tu aurais pu, mon vieux Joseph |
Prendre Sarah ou Déborah |
Et rien ne serait arrivé |
Mais tu as préféré Marie |
Tu aurais pu, mon vieux Joseph |
Rester chez toi, tailler ton bois |
Plutôt que d’aller t’exiler |
Et te cacher avec Marie |
Tu aurais pu, mon vieux Joseph |
Faire des petits avec Marie |
Et leur apprendre ton métier |
Comme ton père te l’avait appris |
Pourquoi a-t-il fallu, Joseph |
Que ton enfant, cet innocent |
Ait eu ces étranges idées |
Qui ont tant fait pleurer Marie? |
Parfois je pense à toi, Joseph |
Mon pauvre ami, lorsque l’on rit |
De toi qui n’avais demandé |
Qu'à vivre heureux avec Marie |
(translation) |
That's what it is, my old Joseph |
Than to have taken the prettiest |
Among the Daughters of Galilee |
The one we called Mary |
You could have, my old Joseph |
Take Sarah or Deborah |
And nothing would have happened |
But you preferred Mary |
You could have, my old Joseph |
Stay home, carve your wood |
Rather than going into exile |
And hide with Mary |
You could have, my old Joseph |
Make babies with Mary |
And teach them your trade |
As your father taught you |
Why did Joseph have to |
That your child, this innocent |
Had these strange ideas |
Who made Marie cry so much? |
Sometimes I think of you, Joseph |
My poor friend, when we laugh |
Of you who never asked |
Than to live happily with Mary |
