Full lyrics
É Asa Norte, é Asa Sul, é avião
É Lago Norte, é Lago Sul, é construção } bis
Pau de Arara, pioneiro da nação
É Alvorada, é Taquatinga, é solidão
Na Asa Norte
Eu me lembrei de seu Oscar
Na Asa Sul
Eu me lembrei do meu irmão
Na W-3 me lembrei de JK
Foi maquinista
Enquanto nós fomos vagão
E fomos lenha
Fomos fogo e fornalha
E o reverso da medalha
E o futuro sem razão
É Asa Norte, é Asa Sul, é avião
Translation
It's Asa Norte, it's Asa Sul, it's airplane
It's Lago Norte, it's Lago Sul, it's construction } bis
Pau de Arara, pioneer of the nation
It's Alvorada, it's Taquatinga, it's solitude
In Asa Norte
I remembered Mr. Oscar
In Asa Sul
I remembered my brother
In W-3 I remembered JK
He was an engineer
While we were a wagon
And we were firewood
We were fire and furnace
And the reverse of the medal
And the future without reason
It's Asa Norte, it's Asa Sul, it's airplane
