*ELOGIO DA RA
[Marcha De Assis Valente Acompanhamento dos Diabos do C o Gravado em 18 de maio de 1933]

Autoridade tem que dar (se tem)

carta branca para o n go vadiar

Pois ele um cavalheiro (est.)

e basta ser um brasileiro

p'r saber se comportar

Um navegante puxou a coberta

e descobriu a nossa ra a t o falada

O sol queimava tanto e roupa n�o havia

Por isso que o n go tem a pele t o queimada

Eu hei de ver o n go vencendo

N go bamba nos ataques do fuzil

N go bronzeado, bronze que tem alma

A alma de guerreiro p'r defesa do Brasil.*

I ran this through Babel Fish and this is the garble it spewed:

"COMPLIMENT Of the RA [ Marcha De Brave Assis Accompaniment of the Devils of the C the Recorded one in 18 of May of 1933 ] Authority has that to give (if it has) blank paper for the n go to loiter Therefore it a gentleman (est.) e is enough to be a Brazilian p'r to know to behave A navigator pulled the cover e discovered ours ra the t the spoken one The sun burnt in such a way and clothes n?o had Therefore that the n go has skin t the forest fire I have to see the n go being successful N go bamba in the attacks of the metal ring N go bronzed, bronze that has soul The prohibited soul of warrior p'r of Brazil."
