Como foi que temperaste
Portugal, meu avôzinho!
Esse gosto misturado
De saudade e de carinho?
Esse gosto misturado
De pele branca e trigueira!
Gosto de África e de Europa
Que é o da gente brasileira!
Gosto de samba e de fado (ah não!)
Portugal, meu avôzinho!
Como foi que ensinaste
Ao Brasil o teu carinho?
Tu de um lado e do outro lado
Nós no meio, o mar profundo!
Mas, por mais fundo que seja
Nós somos os dois um só mundo!
Grande mundo de ternura
Feito de três continentes!
Ai, mundo de Portugal
Gente mãe de tantas gentes!
Ai, Portugal de Camões
Do bom trigo e do bom vinho!
Que nos deste, ai avôzinho
Esse gosto misturado!
Que é saudade e que é carinho
