CAMINHO DE PEDRA by Antonio Carlos Jobim, new words by Joel Sattler
New title: "The Hobbit Song"
Hobbits they build houses round in a hill
Keep to themselves and brew a honey ale
Oho!
Gandalf comes down every once in while
Visits the town with stories he regales
Oho!
But deep in a Hobbit no matter how small
Must be beating a brave heart 10 feet tall
And dragons and monsters and the orcs have no chance
Because Hobbits will just kill them all
Back in the Shire they drink and they dance
And Mordor's just a million miles away
Oho!
- - - - -
Back in the Shire they drink and they dance
And Mordor's just a million miles away
Oho!
Wizards, Rohirrim and Rangers all know
Hobbiton is safe, a place where all the children can grow.....
But deep in a Hobbit no matter how small
Must be beating a brave heart 10 feet tall
And dragons and monsters and the orcs have no chance
Because Hobbits will just kill them all
Back in the Shire they drink and they dance
And Mordor is a million miles away
Oho!

Original lyrics in Portuguese by Vinicius de Moraes
Velho caminho por onde passou
Carro de boi, boiadeiro gritando ô ô
Velho caminho por onde passou
O meu carinho chamando por mim ô ô
Caminho perdido na serra
Caminho de pedra onde não vai ninguém
Só sei que hoje tenho em mim
Um caminho de pedra no peito também
Hoje sozinho nem sei pr'onde vou
É o caminho que vai me levando ô ô
