Atravessei o mar
A remo e a vela
Fiz guerra e em terra
Montei a cavalo
E em pelo de sela
Cruzei as florestas, montanhas e serras
A lua sorria, eu sorri com ela
Quando corria, eu corria dela
Pulei cancelas, pulei quintais
Deixei donzelas e tudo mais
Quantas janelas ficaram atrás
Só pra te ver gabriela
Só pra te ver gabriela
Joaninha ficou chorando
Dizendo meu bem não vá
Com medo acabou ficando
Pois não quis acreditar
Que eu vinha só pra te ver gabriela
Só pra te ver gabriela
Que eu vinha só pra te ver gabriela
Só pra te ver gabriela
Dançando meu frevo quente
Na roda que vai a frente
Chamando a toda gente
O padre, o juiz, o incompetente
Os outros civis junto com o tenente
O mal e o bem, qualquer um eu descrevo
Daçando o frevo contigo também
Lá-iá-lá-iá
Daçando o frevo contigo também
Lá-iá-lá-iá
Que eu vinha só pra te ver gabriela
Só pra te ver gabriela
