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
