Sete anos do pastor [English translation]

Jacob served for seven years as a shepherd

Labão, Raquel's father, Raquel the beautiful mountain girl;

But Jacob didn't really the father, he served her,

And he only intended her as his payment.

The days, in the hope of one sole day,

Passed, satisfying himself with looking at her;

However, the father, being cautious,

In place of Raquel gave him Lia.

Seeing the sad shepherd with faults

It was that way that the shepherd was denied his shepherdess,

As if he didn't deserve her;

He begins to serve for another seven years,

saying: I would serve more, if it wasn't

for such lengthy love and such short life.
