Do Prata ao Amazonas by Licínio Refice — Lyrics
Do Prata ao Amazonas, do mar às cordilheiras.
Cerremos as fileiras, Soldados do Senhor!
O nome teu, Maria, ó Virgem Soberana,
Nos une e nos irmana, nos dá força e valor.
O averno ruge enfurecido,
Altar e trono quer destruído;
Da vida entramos na luta ardida,
Por Deus pugnamos, por nossa vida.
