Ô ô ô ô ô, laia laia
La laia, la laia
Yari, yari, yari
A nação guaianazes
Hoje canta a ti
Yari, yari, yari
A erva mate chamou-se assim
O índio cansado de tanto lutar
Refugiado da guerra e da dor
Esse guerreiro ficou para traz
Sua linda filha com ele ficou
Da tribo nômade, guarani
Viveu nas margens do rio Tabaí
Numa tarde chegou ao seu esconderijo
Um homem de cor estranha
Pra surpresa do índio
Em generosidade com seu anfitrião
Serviu-lhe uma carne de sua região
Foi Tupã, foi Tupã
Lhe recompensou por sua gratidão
Fazendo brotar uma planta na selva
Tornando yari, símbolo da terra
Ensinou-lhes a secar teus ramos ao fogo
Servindo como chá, a todo seu povo
