Canta Brasil

As selvas te deram nas noites ritmos bárbaros
Os negros trouxeram de longe reservas de pranto
Os brancos falaram de amores em suas canções
E dessa mistura de vozes nasceu o teu canto
Brasil minha voz enternecida
Já dourou os teus brasões
Na expressão mais comovida
Das mais ardentes canções
Também, a beleza deste céu
Onde o azul é mais azul
Na aquarela do Brasil
Eu cantei de norte a sul
Mas agora o teu cantar
Meu Brasil quero escutar
Nas preces da sertaneja
Nas ondas do rio-mar
Oh! Este rio turbilhão
Entre selvas e rojão
Continente a caminhar!
No céu! No mar! Na terra!
Canta Brasil!
