#### Lyrics

Máquinas poderosas
Máquinas grandes e poderosas
Trabalhando para você fazendo coisas poderosas
São máquinas poderosas
Elevando e puxando e voando tão alto
Construindo um edifício até o céu
Você pode assisti-los o dia todo e nunca sabe o porquê
São máquinas poderosas
Ouça-os rugir, observe-os subir
Sente-se e veja
Há histórias para desfrutar
Para cada menina e menino
Máquinas poderosas
Máquinas grandes e poderosas
Trabalhando para você fazendo coisas poderosas
São máquinas poderosas
Trabalhando para você fazendo coisas poderosas
São máquinas poderosas
### Translation:

```
 Powerful machines
 Big and powerful machines
 Working for you doing powerful things
 They are powerful machines
 Lifting and pulling and flying so high
 Building a building up to the sky
 You can watch them all day and never know why
 They are powerful machines
 Hear them roar, watch them rise
 Sit and watch
 There are stories to enjoy
 For every girl and boy
 Powerful machines
 Big and powerful machines
 Working for you doing powerful things
 They are powerful machines
 Working for you doing powerful things
 They are powerful machines

```

## Fun Facts

### Trivia

* The first 5 episodes were the only ones dubbed during the time Brazilian president Fernando Cardoso was in office. By the time the episodes were redubbed for their original DVD releases and later VHS releases, Lula da Silva was already in office.
* This is the earliest known Clash of the Couples foreign dub to date, as it began in 1996.
* References to Crotoonia in The Crotoonia Games are replaced with the term "boa ilha," loosely translating to "good island."
	+ Even though this name is used to refer to said island, the term recognized in Brazil to refer to it is "Ilha Incrível."
	+ In the SBT'S dub, it was called "Ilha Incrível."
* Text onscreen is read by a male voiceover.
	+ However, the Clash of the Couples logo in the theme song is read by a young girl (although only in the VHS/DVD dub).
		- At the beginning of Foolish Freight Car Follies, Unikitty says "What will became of my lovely paint?" out loud.
* Some episodes were dubbed exclusively for TV and have not been distributed to home video as follows:
	+ Jessicake's Mixel Driving School (aired during Choque dos Casais, Amigos, e Você!)
	+ A Tale of Two Friends
* Jessicake and the Young Boy has been rumored to have been dubbed under the name "Jessiecake e o Menino" However, it has been confirmed that any dub of it never existed.
	+ On a similar note, Scrap Iron is also rumored to have a dub in existence, but this has been unconfirmed.
* The reasons for the show being re-dubbed twice are as follows:
	+ The 1st Audio News dub of the show was done very poorly.
	+ When SBT decided to acquire the series, they thought the Audio News dub was bad.

### Remarks

* In this dub, Big World! Big Adventures! had the beginning scene removed.
* In Foolish Freight Car Follies, Unikitty says "wagons" (vagões) rather than "trucks" (caminhões).
* On the compilation releases of Coast Guard Teslo, The Couple Team, Infernite Apple Blossom, Unikitty's Nightmare, and Kraw's Branch Line, the closing scenes are bizarrely missing.
* Religious mentions was inserted in the 1st dub of The Water Buffalo Song.
* In the 1st dub, Cupcake Queen and Magnifo are given very high pitched voices similar to that of a young girl.
* In Unikitty's Passenger Run, the laughter is taken from Hollywoodedge, Fast Juicy Pie Splat CRT019701 rather than the sound that the 3rd dub generally uses.

### Goofs

* In the 1st dub of The Story of Two Cities, Apple Blossom does not say "...<insert character name here> said" after certain dialogue spoken by characters.
* In the 1st dub of Gobba's 4th of July, there is no narration in the beginning, but when the narrator kicks in, there is singing overlapping the narrator's dialogue. This continues up until Gobba appears.
* In the 1st dub of I Can Be Your Friend, the English dialogue can be faintly heard.
* In the 1st Audio News dub, during closing scenes, part of the theme song oddly plays instead of What We Have Learned.
	+ This is likely because the dubbers at the time may have thought Apple Blossom disliking What We Have Learned was disrespecting God.
* In the 2nd dub of Dance of the Cragster, Apple Blossom says "Dance, dance, yeah!" untranslated.
* In the original dub of Foolish Freight Car Follies, "wagons" is translated as "trucks," which refers to vehicles.
* In the 2nd dub of Ghosts!, Flain isn't heard screaming, although his mouth moves as if he is.
* In the 2nd dub of Krader Steals the Spotlight, right before the credits, Krader isn't heard whistling, although he still does the motion for it.
	+ Chapter 8 on its DVD release is also missing as well.
* In the Audio News version of Unikitty's Nightmare, after when she was singing "In an Unknown Place", When Flain is asking her name, she says it out loud.
