Club anthem

De verde e branco, Um dia te embriagaram;
De verde engalanaram, Os teus pés.
O branco escorreu-te, Das feições,
Onde moras, E onde mostras o que és! e Entre os maiores
Te sentes piqueno, Mas és na Beira
Rico em tradições, Agarra que te vem
De seres leão, Já tem feito tremer
Os aldeões!

Pelos anos contados, És velhinho, Mas continuas sempre
A ser um jovenzinho; D`esperança
Traçaram teu carinho, Força e coragem
O que te moem, O ar que te embriaga
Puro e leve, Te inspira e te dá fecundidade?
Que seja lema teu, Por toda a vila
A grandeza, leite Gresso, A humidade
