Minha jangada de vela que vento queres levar?
Tu queres vento de terra ou queres vento do mar?
Aqui, no meio das ondas, das verdes ondas do mar
És como que pensativa, duvidosa a bordejar
Minha jangada de vela que vento queres levar?
Saudades tens lá das praias, queres n'areia encalhar
Ou no meio do oceano apraz-te as ondas sulcar
Sobre as vagas, como a garça, gosto de ver-te adejar
Ou qual donzela no prado resvalando a meditar
Minha jangada de vela que vento queres levar?
Se a fresca brisa da tarde, a vela vem te oscular
Estremeces como a noiva, se vem-lhe o noivo beijar
Quer sossegada na praia, quer nos abismos do mar
Tu és, ó minha jangada, a virgem do meu sonhar
Minha jangada de vela que vento queres levar?
A tua vela branquinha acabo de borrifar
Já peixe tenho de sobra, vamos à terra aproar
Ai, vamos que as verdes ondas fagueiras a te embalar
São falsas nestas alturas quais lá na beira do mar
Minha jangada de vela, é tempo de repousar
