Portugal desde menino
Foi cavaleiro e campino
Deu cartas como caução
A cavalo venceu mouros
A cavalo picou toiros
Foi destemido e pimpão
A nossa história
É toda de lés a lés
Uma vitória do ginete português
Eu cá para mim
Não há ou não maior prazer que o selim e a mulher
Rédeas na mão, sorrir amar, trotar esquecer
E digam la se isto é descer!
Rapaziada de agora
Voltem à bota e à espora
Com orgulho e altivez
Deixem as coisas modernas
Arranjem força nas pernas
Trotar é que é português
Quem anda a trote em cima de um bom alter
Leva no bote a mais difícil mulher
