Escada Sem Corrimão [English translation]

It is a spiral staircase

Which does not have a handrail

It goes the way of the sun

But never leaves the ground

The steps, the higher they go

The more damaged they are

Neither frights nor jolts

Even serve as a lesson

Those with fear, don't climb it

Also those with dreams do not

Some will even throw out

The ballast of the heart

It's climbed in a race

Running dangerously in vain

You guessed it; it's life

A ladder without a handrail
