Valei-me São José

I wanted to be like Saint Joseph
Who, upon hearing God's voice, suffered and obeyed
He was faithful and a great example of surrender to God
He stripped himself of his life
Worked and loved for God

Oh Saint Joseph, pray for me!
Help me Saint Joseph

Holy man of God
I want to be holy like that
Not fear or lament what was left behind
I want to walk in justice
And be pure in love
Be ready to depart and save the child God

Oh Saint Joseph, pray for me!
Help me Saint Joseph

Today I say yes
I will go to the end
So that God can shape His features in me
Holy is what I want to be
I want to always obey
Retain nothing, love without reservations

Oh Saint Joseph, pray for me!
Help me Saint Joseph
