se o meu País...

Se este meu País fosse um navio...

E eu fosse seu timoneiro,
Lançaria ao mar profundo
Toda a carga má
Com que, por erro ou más intenções
O carregaram...
No porto errado onde atracou.
Umas dezenas de anos
Depois de Abril.

Qual cavalo de tróia!...
A abarrotar de ratos e de ratazanas.
Tudo encharcaram.
Dos porões aos camarotes.

Vestiram fraques.
Pegaram gravata.
Pegaram galões.
Uns sabichões.
De rabo comprido.

Viraram ministros.
Como praga,
Inundaram as terras.
Secaram fábricas.
Desertaram quartéis.

Até da Justiça...
E dos tribunais,
Roeram as portas
E  fechaduras...

Salteadores,
Como sanguessugas,
Assaltaram bancos.
Desviaram fundos,
Sugaram o sangue todo
Que deveria dar força...

E, com uma desinfecção geral...
Amarras cortadas,
Me faria ao largo,
Com Portugal em peso.

A todo o vapor,
De mãos unidas,
Com muita ordem,
Respeito total,
Arregaçaria as mangas,
Lançaria as redes,
Lavraria a terra,
Voltava a lavrar...
Outra vez Navio seguro,
Onde seria bom viver...
