Anthem

Official Anthem

Alvi Rubro pendão da victória
Que nos campos da lucta s agita
Ao bafejo bemdicto da glória,
Que a luctar e a vencer nos incita

Alvi Rubro pendão desfraldado
Sobre a moça energia do forte
Tem em cada um de nós um soldado
Se preciso a marchar para a morte

O América sempre na frente
A victória é há muito seu hall...
Vigoroso tenez e valente
"Passe" "dimbla" "schot" "goall goall"

Alvi Rubro pendão posto ao vento
Farfalhado soberbo as tuas côres
Nos sentimos brotar nosso alento
Novas forças e novos vigores

Nos sentimos ao ver te, estandarte
Transformarem-se espinhos em flores
Symbolisas, o augusto baluarte
Do campeão, campeão dos vencedores

Anthem by Soriano Roberto and Americano Maia.

Unofficial Anthem

Hei de torcer, torcer, torcer...
Hei de torcer até morrer, morrer, morrer...
Pois a torcida americana é toda assim
A começar por mim
A cor do pavilhão é a cor do nosso coração
Em nossos dias de emoção
Toda torcida cantará esta canção
Tra-la-la-la-la-la
Tra-la-la-la-la-la
Tra-la-la-la-la
Campeões de 13, 16 e 22
Tra-la-la
Temos muitas glórias
E surgirão outras depois
Tra-la-la
Campeões com a pelota nos pés
Fabricamos aos montes, aos dez
Nós ainda queremos muito mais
América unido vencerás

Anthem by Lamartine Babo.
