Boys and girls of many nations
All united in good will,
We are friends and gay companions
'neath the blue skies of Brazil.

When from here we have departed
And we seek our destined way,
To our School we'll be true hearted
And with pride we'll always say . . .

O Escola Americana,
We will always stand by you,
Sing your praises and and be loyal
To your colors, red and blue!

O Escola Americana,
sunny School of work and play,
You will never be forgotten
Though we wander far away.

To be here is an honor
Such that we will proudly bear,
For with patience you have taught us
How for life we should prepare.

In our journey of the future,
You will always be a star,
Steady guiding light of wisdom,
That is sighted from afar!

O Escola Americana,
We will always stand by you,
Sing your praises and be loyal
To your colors, red and blue!

O Escola Americana,
Sunny school of work and play,
You will never be forgotten
Though we wander far away!

The Real Audio version comes through perfectly clear on my computer, folks, so I hope you can enjoy this!   If it sounds distorted, turn down the volume control on the Real Audio screen.  It sounds perfect running through a stereo.  Computer speakers are another story.  It may take  a while to download it, but it is well worth the wait!   Original version only, thanks.
