| Oh my father, I am Joseph,
| Oh mi padre, yo soy Jose,
|
| one who walks upon the earth.
| el que anda sobre la tierra.
|
| I am hated by my brothers,
| Soy odiado por mis hermanos,
|
| they throw stones and spiteful words.
| tiran piedras y palabras maliciosas.
|
| They have robbed me of my vineyards
| Me han robado mis viñas
|
| and have set my fields afire.
| y han incendiado mis campos.
|
| They would rather see me hanging as a saint
| Prefieren verme colgado como un santo
|
| than by their side
| que a su lado
|
| for I saw eleven stars, the sun and the moon
| porque vi once estrellas, el sol y la luna
|
| kneeling before me, my lord.
| arrodillado ante mí, mi señor.
|
| Oh my father, I am Joseph
| Oh mi padre, yo soy Joseph
|
| just the way you had me made.
| tal como me hiciste.
|
| Heaven’s birds rest on my shoulders
| Los pájaros del cielo descansan sobre mis hombros
|
| and the wheat bows my way.
| y el trigo inclina mi camino.
|
| And for being like you made me
| Y por ser como tu me hiciste
|
| they have thrown me in the well.
| me han tirado al pozo.
|
| For the dreams that I’ve had lately
| Por los sueños que he tenido últimamente
|
| seem too real not to tell
| parece demasiado real para no decirlo
|
| that I saw eleven stars the sun and the moon,
| que vi once estrellas el sol y la luna,
|
| kneeling before me, my lord.
| arrodillado ante mí, mi señor.
|
| What did I ever do? | ¿Qué hice alguna vez? |
| Did I displease you?
| ¿Te disgusté?
|
| What have I got into and why me?
| ¿En qué me he metido y por qué yo?
|
| Tell me what have I done? | Dime ¿qué he hecho? |
| Did I upset you?
| ¿Te molesté?
|
| Did I do someone wrong when I said… | ¿Hice mal a alguien cuando dije... |
