Quebra meu povo
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Choose for Diff
Vinde, vinde quebrar 
Ao som deste maxixe,
Que n'alma põe alegria
E nos induz a folia!
O tempo mais ideal
É o que nos diverte...
E vós que a mais gozar,
Oh, vinde maxixar!

O maxixe provoca
Enebria, delicia
A dança carioca
É ideal e sem igual
Quanta moça bonita,
Delicada, perfumada
Que já faz sua fita
A quebrar, a maxixar!

Quem não há de querer
Um momento, sentir-se
Perdido nas maxixadas,
Ardentes, arrebatadas
O maxixe conduz
Ao mais doce delírio;
Quebrado com amor,
É enlouquecedor...

Maxixar não faz mal
É tão bom, tão natural
Quebra, meu povo, requebra
Risca o pé com devoção
Não há tempo a perder
Hoje quebrar é viver
Hoje a coisa está mudada
O maxixe é de salão.
