Vasta cidade provinciana
Vive de fe, bebe o samba e amem
Planos de outrora vagam na rua
Gritos do povo que clamam alguem
Maravilhosa, cala gigante
Paga fortuna e so anda de trem
Vem justiceira, mae majestosa
Pede socorro a si mesma e alem
Faca gentil teu filho,
A gloria que espelha teu mar sem fim
Vou no cortejo a tua historia
Me abriga, que sirva a ti
Filha da patria em carne e alma
Cantarei por ti, meu rio
Capital duro, cara pra burro
Gaspar de lemos – de troca em vintem
Reino tamoyos, tuas memorias pulsam no couro da bossa tambem
Bracos abertos, es generosa
Alto falante de sonhos e quens
Neste milenio nao quer mais prosa
Quer jogo limpo pra todo desdem
