JOSEPH AND REBECCA (ENDEARING)

Dear Joseph, the beloved of my heart
look at me, honey
the whole neighbourhood is saying
she has a burning love
and to whom does it burn?
Dear Joseph, the beloved of my heart...

Dear Rebecca, the beloved of my eyes
Dad told me so:
Please hear the ethics of your father
I warned you about women!
Dad found your Mom
and look what came out of that...

Dear Joseph
dear Rebecca
you make me crazy
oh for father's sakes
oh for father's sakes
what are you scared of Daddy?
I don't know what to do -
he has, he has, such a hand!

Dear Joseph, my sweetie
Mom told me so:
until when will you keep waiting for him
hit him on the head
he has a mental confusion there -
thus she said, my sweetie...

Dear Rebecca, you're my whole life,
but my father says to me:
your brother that's perfect looking
I have not yet married here
so listen well, you donkey -
sit and wait in line!

Dear Joseph
dear Rebecca
you make me crazy
oh for father's sakes
oh for father's sakes
what are you scared of Daddy?
I don't know what to do -
he has, he has, such a hand!

Dear Joseph, my spirit, my soul,
is this not a stupid situation
you have another brother of ice
and another lame brother
and three craftsmen brothers -
you'll get married at age fifty...

Dear Rebecca, listen to my words
Dad told me so:
there's nothing for you to rush here
you won't miss a train here
real life
starts at the age of sixty...

Dear Joseph
dear Rebecca
you make me crazy
oh for father's sakes
oh for father's sakes
what are you scared of Daddy?
I don't know what to do -
he has, he has, such a hand!
