A Problemática Colocação de Mastro

The problematic placement of the mast
For the purpose of decorating the avenue
With hanging balloons, colorful papers
Brought an unusual mess to the municipality

It's that this ideality
Acted in accordance
With the colossal taste of two or three

And proudly announced
With much pomp and noise
That the world's largest mast is Portuguese
And proudly announced
With much pomp and noise
That the world's largest mast is Portuguese

The amazed looks during the climb
Didn't reach the middle, nor the end
For many, that mast is bad spending containment
For others, it's just fine as it is

The fascination is human
And what is large in size
Always glorifies those who made it

This exalts a nation
And it must be said with reason
That the world's largest mast is Portuguese
This exalts a nation
And it must be said with reason
That the world's largest mast is Portuguese

St. Peter lost the keys
St. Anthony the child
St. John went flying
And to his misfortune
He can't find the little lamb

St. Anthony is dizzy
St. Peter says he can't see
St. John fell flat
And from the sky took a tumble
Tripped over who knows what

Restless crowd on the avenue
Whistles for having to wait so long
But neither neighborhoods, nor localists, nor the planned marches
The expectant spectator saw parade

Those who deal with altars
Say that the popular saints
Don't parade through the streets this time

If tradition fails us
At least let the emotion prevail
That the world's largest mast is Portuguese
If tradition fails us
At least let the emotion prevail
That the world's largest mast is Portuguese

After the saints were recovered from their mistreatment
The responsible ones decided to confront
Sliding down the mast, they asked from below
Which country raised this pillar high

To the neighbor's door
Everyone swept the trash
When blame points at us and involves us

And when it comes to the country
A patriot is the one who says
That the world's largest mast is Spanish

The Portuguese post
Is only big in smallness
But the world's largest mast is Spanish

St. Peter lost the keys
St. Anthony the child
St. John went flying
And to his misfortune
He can't find the little lamb

St. Anthony is dizzy
St. Peter says he can't see
St. John fell flat
And from the sky took a tumble
Tripped over who knows what

St. Peter lost the keys
St. Anthony the child
St. John went flying
And to his misfortune
He can't find the little lamb

St. Anthony is dizzy
St. Peter says he can't see
St. John fell flat
And from the sky took a tumble
Tripped over who knows what
