No meio do caminho

"Este é tempo de divisas, tempo de gente cortada."

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.

O Rei do Rock

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied,
satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

tempo da travessia

"Há um tempo em que é preciso abandonar as roupas usadas,

que já têm a forma do nosso corpo,

e esquecer os nossos caminhos,

que nos levam sempre aos mesmos lugares.

É o tempo da travessia:

e, se não ousarmos fazê-la,

teremos ficado, para sempre,

à margem de nós mesmos."

Fernando Pessoa
