O Meio [English translation]

That was how things were in the beginning

A sheer metaphor

Suspended in the air

That was how things were in the beginning

Only open mouths

Still unknowing what to do

Willing to sing

That is why, we never know how to start

In the beginning

We start because, without starting

We can't go on

But that feeling remains

Going back in time, it would make another sound

Because after a certain point

Everything but the beginning was good

That's why it's better to be patient

Because every beginning starts and goes away

The problem lies in knowing if it has already gone away

Or if it is still in the beginning

Because sometimes the beginning lasts long

A lot of time passes by

But it still is in the beginning

More time passes by

And it's not time yet

There are people that never passed the beginning

But are hopeful that they will, someday

If every beginning looks like that

The best part of a beginning is its end

There will be a day when

Everyone will master

A way for them not to begin

Now, after the beginning

I'm already feeling

Way more comfortable

Maybe I'm already in the middle

Or in the beginning of the middle

Because if I were right in the middle

I would be in the middle

It feels so nice to be in the middle

The middle is great for us to sing

First, the blockage fades off

And even what was ugly begins to sound beautiful

After that all fear

From the middle on, we could avoid

That way children could be born

If they were born in the middle, they wouldn't cry

I would say it straight

In the beginning it was the middle

And the middle was good

Then the verbs appeared

A little bit slower

And they made everything get more difficult

It created what was natural, what was artificial

It created what was real, what was fictional

It created the ending, the beginning

The beginning that turned out to be this now

But everything happened

After the beginning

And everyone, alone

Will undoubtedly find

A way to cheer us
