Cantiga por José

What was it that enchanted you in this maiden? What was it that enchanted you?Que foi que te encantou nesta donzela? Que foi que te encantou?
What was it that led you to her house? What was it that led you?Que foi que te levou à casa dela? Que foi que te levou?
You were looking for the ideal girlfriendAndavas procurando a namorada ideal
You asked the Lord to help you find herPedias ao Senhor que te ajudasse a encontrá-la
And suddenly one dayE de repente um dia
Someone introduced you to MariaAlguém te apresentou Maria

What did you see in her eyes? What was it, my Saint Joseph?Que foi que viste tu nos olhos dela? Que foi, meu São José?
What even made you dream of her in the sky of Nazareth?Que foi que até te fez sonhar com ela no céu de Nazaré?
You were looking for the ideal girlfriendAndavas procurando a namorada ideal
You asked the Lord to help you find herPedias ao Senhor que te ajudasse a encontrá-la
And suddenly one dayE de repente um dia
Someone introduced you to MariaAlguém te apresentou Maria

Now you have married your chosen one in the peace of your Lord3. Agora desposaste a tua eleita na paz do teu Senhor
Life has become more perfect with her, it has more colorA vida se tornou bem mais perfeita com ela tem mais cor
You were looking for the ideal girlfriendAndavas procurando a namorada ideal
You asked the Lord to help you find herPedias ao Senhor que te ajudasse a encontrá-la
And suddenly one dayE de repente um dia
Someone introduced you to MariaAlguém te apresentou Maria
