Tune: אל תירא

*****************************************************

Chorus:
Yaakov had a favorite son,
It was Yosef, his special one.
Yaakov made Yosef a woolen coat to wear,
‘Coz Yosef was born to him in His later years.
Chorus:
The brothers to Yosef had jealousy,
They couldn’t speak to him peacefully.
Yosef was thrown in a pit full of snakes,
While the brothers sat down and ate.
Chorus:
Yosef was sold by his brothers,
To Arabs, Midyanim and others,
Yosef’s coat, in blood they did dip,
Asked Yaakov if He recognized it.
Chorus:

Seeing the coat, Yaakov assumed that day,
That he was killed by an animal on the way.
Yaakov was very, very grieved,
And mourned and mourned indeed.
Chorus:
In Potifar’s house, Yosef was tempted to sin,
But in the end he didn’t listen.
Potifar’s wife was angry that he hadn’t listened,
So Potifar got Yosef imprisoned.
Chorus:
The butler and baker- strange dreams they had,
Yosef found that’s why they were sad.
Chorus:
Yosef first explained the butler’s dream
He had asked: What it does mean?

In three days, on Paroh’s birthday,
You’ll be free, in the prison you won’t
need to stay.
Chorus:
But the baker, in three days your fate will be,
That you’ll be killed and hanged on a tree,
Then Yosef told the butler, remember me,
Try to tell Paroh to set me free.
Chorus:
