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 |
