“No meio do caminho” (“In the middle of the path”)

In the middle of the path there was a stone
There was a stone in the middle of the path
There was a stone
In the middle of the path there was a stone

I will never forget that that happened
In the life of my very tired retinas
I will never forget that in the middle of the path
There was a stone
There was a stone in the middle of the path
In the middle of the path there was a stone
