Onde andará Nicanor?
Tinha mãos de jardineiro
Quando tratava de amor
Há tanta moça na espera
Suas gentis primaveras
Um desperdício de flor
Onde andará Nicanor?
Tinha amor pro porto inteiro
Um peito de remador
Ah, quem me dera as morenas
Pra consolar suas penas
Para abrandar seucalor
Olha elas sempre aflitas
Bata o vento ou caia chuva
Cada uma mais bonita
E mais viúva
Todas elas fazem ninho
Da saudade e da virtude
Mas carinho
Queira Deus que Deus ajude
Onde andará Nicanor?
Tinha nó de marinheiro
Quando amarrava um amor
Mas há recantos guardados
Nos sete mares rasgados
Sete pecados tão bons
Onde andará Nicanor?
