Hoje fui que a perdi
Mas onde, já nem sei
Me levo para o mar
Em Vera me larguei
E deito nessa dor
Meu corpo sem lugar
Ah, quisera esquecer
A moça que se foi
De nossa Vera Cruz
E o pranto que ficou
Do Norte que sonhei
Das coisas de um lugar
Nos rios me larguei
Correndo sem parar
Buscava Vera Cruz
Nos campos e no mar
Mas ela se soltou
Pra longe se perdeu
Quero em outra mansidão
Um dia ancorar
E ao vento me esquecer
Que ao vento me amarrei
E nele vou partir
Atrás de Vera Cruz
Ah, quisera encontrar
A moça que se foi
Do mar de Vera Cruz
E o pranto que ficou
