Quando eu era rapazote
Levei comigo no bote
Uma varina atrevida
Manobrei e gostei dela
E lá me atraquei a ela
P'ró resto da minha vida
Às vezes uma pessoa
A saudade não perdoa
Faz bater o coração
Mas tenho grande vaidade
Em viver a mocidade
Dentro desta geração
Sou marinheiro
Deste velho cacilheiro
Dedicado companheiro
Pequeno berço do povo
E navegando
A idade foi chegando
O cabelo branqueando
Mas o Tejo é sempre novo
Todos moram numa rua
A que chamam sempre sua
Mas eu cá não os invejo
O meu bairro é sobre as águas
Que cantam as sua mágoas
E a minha rua é o Tejo
Certa noite de luar
Vinha eu a navegar
E de pé, junto da proa
Eu vi, ou então sonhei
Que os braços do Cristo-Rei
Estavam a abraçar Lisboa
