Chamamé
Pra amar a terra que canto não precisa que me mande
Eu nasci lá na fronteira, coração do meu Rio Grande
Sou esta voz bem crioula que nasceu sobre o aboio
Do opa-opa brasino que ali no mais é o arroio
Do opa-opa brasino que ali no mais é o arroio
Oh, moço cá da cidade a sua origem contesta
Não gosta de ver bombacha, chapéu quebrado na testa
Não importa o que lhe digam, ou que de mim achem graça
Sou guasca e orgulho tenho da origem da minha raça
Sou guasca e orgulho tenho da origem da minha raça
E tu chinoca morena das ancas bem retovadas
Das tranças bem renegridas, e olhar de corça assustada
Se chegue junto ao meu peito, venha sentir meu afago
Venha sentir como eu sinto, vibrar a alma do pago
Venha sentir como eu sinto, vibrar a alma do pago
