Abá dos ritos estranhos
Andarilhos tribais
Tua guerra é tua paz
Quem ousar aportar em teus litorais
Terror virá
Tupinambá!
Das entranhas da mata os bravios
Belicosos, valentes rivais
Desafiais, com a honra lutai
Com a fúria enfrentai, tua força mostrai
Em tempos de ouro e arcabuz
De um tesouro que ao branco seduz
Capturará, emplumará
Saciará Abá
Tubub Abá
Honre a teus ancestrais
No brilho das fogueiras
Tua vingança erguerá
Suas fortalezas
Canta, pajé, dança
É chegada a hora
Das montanhas ouve os gritos
De alaridos do cativo
Ibirapema, teu triunfo
Agoniza o inimigo
Lacerado e moqueado
O banquete está servido
Abá absorverá
Toda a força de sua alma
Pra nova guerra
