Dizem que amor de estudante
Não dura mais que uma hora
Só o meu é tão velhinho
Inda não se foi embora.
Coimbra pra ser Coimbra
Três coisas há-de contar
Guitarras, tricanas lindas,
Capas negras a adejar
Ó Portugal trovador
Ó Portugal das cantigas
A dançar tua dás a roda
A roda com as raparigas
Fui encher a bilha e trago-a
Vazia como a levei
Mondego que é da tua água
que é dos prantos que eu chorei.
