Abraham Our Father
Beloved father,
You will be father
Of the Jews. Abraham one day,
At midday,
Went outside,
He saw the sun. The sun that he saw,
So burning bright,
He said to himself:
“There is a ruler.” He went out in the evening,
He went to meet it,
He went to seek it,
He did not find it. He saw the moon
And the stars,
He said to himself:
“There is a ruler.” Abraham our father,
Beloved father,
You will be father
Of the Jews.
From Arboleras vol. 1 - Sephardic cancionero and coplas oral tradition,1996 This Copla speaks to the discovery of Abraham of the one God. This is a partial version learned through the recording of Hanna Malaj.
