Pare! olhe em volta de ti!
As belezas desas matas
O murmurio das cascatas
E o cantar do bem-te-vi
Amazõnia do caboclo do guereiro
Castanheira e o fruto do açai
Danço ciranda no balanço de suas agùas
E me encanto com o boi de parentins
Amazõnia igapó, igarapé.
Boto rosa, peixe boi, tucunaré.
Lendas que contão os misterios das florestas
Jurupari e os indios maués
Falado
Parem!
Não destruam e nem vendam o que é nosso,
Pra que sócio se podemos preservar,
Nossas riquesas e belezas naturais.
Este ar puro pra que eu possa respirar
Amazonia igapó igarapé
Boto rosa, peixe boi tucunaré
Lendas que contão
Os mistérios das florestas
Jurupari e os indios maués
Amazõnia dos heróis que aqui lutarão
E tombaram defendendo está bandeira
Verdes matas, amarelo, nosso ouro.
Azul das aguas da amazõnia brasileira.
