The translation is wrong. I don't know where that anthem comes but in french, sein means core. In its "sein" means at its core, deeply rooted

    "Seio" in Portuguese means "breast" and is used to refer to boobs.

    Yes, seio can mean breast in Portuguese, but that's clearly not what it means in this context. It's being used figuratively to mean "within" or "at the heart of", just like sein in French.

    A word having multiple meanings doesn't make them interchangeable. Translating seio as "boobs" here is simply a mistranslation, regardless of whether it makes a funny joke.
