Menina dos olhos tristes
O que tanto a faz chorar
O soldadinho não volta
Do outro lado do mar
Vamos senhor pensativo
Olhe o cachimbo a apagar
O soldadinho não volta
Do outro lado do mar
Senhora de olhos cansados
Porque a fatiga o tear
O soldadinho não volta
Do outro lado do mar
Anda bem triste um amigo
Uma carta o fez chorar
O soldadinho não volta
Do outro lado do mar
A lua que é viajante
É que nos pode informar
O soldadinho já volta
Do outro lado do mar
O soldadinho já volta
Está quase mesmo a chegar
Vem numa caixa de pinho
Desta vez o soldadinho
Nunca mais se faz ao mar
