Queen of Portugal's beaches
Under the skies of Figueira VI
Hello, beautiful Figueira!
It’s great to be here watching the waves of the sea that come and go murmuring secrets to the stars and the moon. Were they confessions of love?

Queen of Portugal's beaches
Ana Valentina Angelo
Like verses from a sonnet, Alexandrian or not,
Fourteen are your loves, beautiful Figueira da Foz
Ferreira a Nova, Moinhos da Gândara and Alqueidão,
Alhadas (your oldest love) greet you in one voice
Majorca, Vila Verde, Tavarede and the historic Paião
Exhibit, customs, arts, traces of the predecessor
In the sand, Marinha das Ondas, Buarcos and São Julião
Bom Sucesso, Quiaios, Lavos sing the fisherman
Figueira, you are called the Queen of the Silver coast
You have always been Queen of the Beaches of Portugal
Of the flowers you are the most beautiful, of the Celts the purest cream
Fourteen are your loves. God was happy when he made them!
How to choose your south or north, if nothing is commonplace?
So, I say again: I am Figueirense, Brazilian-Portuguese!
