O meu menino é d'oiro
É de oiro fino
Não façam caso que é pequenino
O meu menino é d'oiro
D'oiro fagueiro
Hei-de levá-lo no meu veleiro.
Venham aves do céu
Pousar de mansinho
Por sobre os ombros do meu menino
Do meu menino, do meu menino
Venha comigo venham
Que eu não vou só
Levo o menino no meu trenó.
Quantos sonhos ligeiros
pra teu sossego
Menino avaro não tenhas medo
Onde fores no teu sonho
Quero ir contigo
Menino de oiro sou teu amigo
Venham altas montanhas
Ventos do mar
Que o meu menino
Nasceu pra amar
Venha comigo venham
Que eu não vou só
Levo o menino no meu trenó.
O meu menino é d'oiro
É d'oiro é de oiro fino ....
Venham altas montanhas
Ventos do mar ....
