A Formiga No Carreiro

José Afonso José Afonso

The Ant on the Path

The ant on the path
was coming in the opposite direction
Fell into the Tagus
next to a septuagenarian

Climbed up the planks (repeat)
that floated on the waters (repeat)
and from the top of one of them
turned towards the anthill
change direction (repeat)
here comes another path

The ant on the path
was coming in a different direction
fell on the street
in the middle of everyone

moved opened its legs
to climb the balconies
and from the top of one of them
...

The ant on the path
was going around in life
dropped on top
of a fallen thorn

drilled fiercely
in a hole that was there
and from the top of one of them
