He metio en un relicario
toita las calles de Cai
y he metio en un relicario
y se las llevo como ofrenda
a la Virgen del Rosario.
Que me gustan los tranvias
desde Cai a San Fernando
Que me gustan los tranvias
porque veo navegando
los barcos por la bahia.
Vientecillo de levante
tu eres loco y marinero
vientecillo de levante
dile a la mujer que quiero
que sus besos
son mi estandarte.
Coletillas
anoche te vi en Santa Maria
o recuerdo a la Perla
gitana mia
cuando estaba en via
mira que pelito,
mira que carita,
que andares llevaba
flores a tu paso
los balcones tiraban.
Tengo un velero (x2)
que cuando entra por Cai
el muelle pesquero
me saluda el mercante
y el de pasajero
y comentan las olitas
mira que andares
tiene tan marinero.
Tabajo en el pescao
y en el tabaco
tengo 2 trajecillos
y unos zapatos
dile a tu mare niña,
dile a tu mare
que tengo 10 reales
para gastarme.
[Estribillo]
Y surcaremos las olitas,
los anchos mares
y surcaremos las olitas,
no habrá quien nos pare
y llegamos a la playa
del mar de Cai
y llevaremos sales
donde no hay...
Eso es lo que hay.
