tinha uma pedra no meio do caminho It was a stone in the middle of the road
tinha uma pedra it was a stone
no meio do caminho tinha uma pedra. in the middle of the road was a stone

Nunca me esquecerei desse acontecimento I shall never forget about this event
na vida de minhas retinas tão fatigadas. In the life of my so tired eyes
Nunca me esquecerei que no meio do caminho I shall never forget, in the middle of the road
tinha uma pedra was a stone
tinha uma pedra no meio do caminho it was a stone in the middle of the road
no meio do caminho tinha uma pedra. in the middle of the road, was a stone

Hi Gaucho!!! lollllll You did not tell me yet why NANA BRAZIL ROCKS LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLL
Let me just correct the English sentence if you permit me ..

" There was a stone In the middle of the way.
In the middle of the way there was a stone ( this kind of construction is not used in English like we do...),
there was a stone... "

Carlos Drumond de Andrade...is just great!!

I know that. I didn't translate this text by myself.
I found this translation in the internet and I thought this translation was
very stupid too.

It's really strange "was a stone" instead of "there was a stone".

They've got to be kidding.
