IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD THERE WAS A STONE
by Carlos Drummond  de Andrade

In the middle of the road there was a stone

There was a stone in the middle of the road

There was a stone

In the middle of the road there was a stone

Never shall I forget this event

In the life of my fatigued retinas

Never shall I forget that in the middle of the road

There was a stone

There was a stone in the middle of the road

In the middle of the road there was a stone

NO MEIO DO CAMINHO TINHA UMA PEDRA
by Carlos Drummond  de Andrade

No meio do caminho tinha uma pedra

Tinha uma pedra no meio do caminho

Tinha uma pedra

No meio do caminho tinha uma pedra

Nunca me esquecerei desse acontecimento

Na vida de minhas retinas tão fatigadas

Nunca me esquecerei que no meio do caminho

Tinha uma pedra

Tinha uma pedra no meio do caminho

No meio do caminho tinha uma pedra
