Olha o que foi meu bom José
Se apaixonar pela donzela
Dentre todas a mais bela
De toda sua Galiléia
Casar com Deborah ou com Sarah
Meu bom José você podia
E nada disso acontecia
Mas você foi amar Maria
Você podia simplesmente
Ser carpinteiro e trabalhar
Sem nunca ter que se exilar
De se esconder com Maria
Meu bom José você podia
Ter muitos filhos com Maria
E teu ofício ensinar
Como teu pai sempre fazia
Porque será, meu bom José
Que esse teu pobre filho um dia
Andou com estranhas idéias
Que fizeram chorar Maria
Me lembro às vezes de você
meu bom José, meu pobre amigo
Que desta vida só queria
Ser feliz com sua Maria
