José do Egito

When the sun shone hot, penetrating into the infinite
Passing by the Ishmaelites, a scream is heard from a pit.
It was Joseph who was screaming, his brothers did this.
Potiphar bought the boy, upon arriving in Egypt.

But time passed and the boy grew up
Gaining trust, he became a governor.
And gathering the provisions, he stored them in granaries.
Seven years of plenty and seven more of dread.

Then came the famine in unexpected lands
They had to buy food in Egypt
And Jacob sent his sons to buy, with great faith
Unaware that the governor was his son, Joseph.

And Joseph, seeing the young men, recognized them immediately
And after hard tests, he said: Do you know who I am?
I am the boy you sold yourselves.
They fell to the ground as soon as they recognized him.
And Joseph said to them: I cried with longing,
But fear not, my brothers, for I have forgiven you.
Everything you did to me was a blessing
Today here in Egypt, I am the governor.
