==Lyrics==
::Brasil
::Meu Brasil brasileiro
::Meu mulato inzoneiro
::Vou cantar-te nos meus versos
::Ô Brasil, samba que dá
::Bamboleio, que faz gingá
::Ô Brasil do meu amor
::Terra de Nosso Senhor
::Brasil! Brasil!
::Prá mim... prá mim...
::Ô, abre a cortina do passado
::Tira a Mãe Preta do serrado
::Bota o Rei Congo no congado
::Brasil! Brasil!
::Deixa cantar de novo o trovador
::À merencória luz da lua
::Toda canção do meu amor
::Quero ver a “Sá Dona” caminhando
::Pelos salões arrastando
::O seu vestido rendado
::Brasil! Brasil!
::Prá mim... prá mim...
::Brasil
::terra boa e gostosa
::Da morena sestrosa
::De olhar indiscreto
::Ô Brasil, verde que dá
::Para o mundo se admirá
::Ô Brasil do meu amor
::Terra de Nosso Senhor
::Brasil! Brasil!
::Prá mim... prá mim...
::Ô, esse coqueiro que dá côco
::Oi, onde amarro a minha rêde
::Nas noites claras de luar
::Brasil! Brasil!
::Ah, ouve essas fontes murmurantes
::Aonde eu mato a minha sede
::E onde a lua vem brincá
::Ah, este Brasil lindo e trigueiro
::É o meu Brasil brasileiro
::Terra de samba e pandeiro
::Brasil! Brasil!
::Prá mim... prá mim...http://daniellathompson.com/ary/aquarela.html
