1. The sons of Bacchus were grieved
When Joseph that young man left the dwelling

2. A courageous leader, rather a noble scholar
Through his virtues the East and West sang his praises

3. Lebanon was first in pride and glory
For his people, he wished the best whenever

4. For his loss, his brother the knight
Became distraught and shed tears when

5. Cease your crying, then sorrow O his family
For his soul to his God he has surrendered

6. So He gifted him eternal kingdom in heaven
To enjoy what he has blessed him with

7. Happiness and glory adorn his resting place
With might he became the heir of a king
