Subo e desço este rio
Da miranda ao araínho
Sob a torreira e o frio
Faço a escarpa brotar vinho
Sonhei que era o mississipi
E que menphis era no pinhão
Vindimando ao som de adufe
Bandolim e acordeão
(Refrão)
Rio abaixo rio acima
A dar aos remos no rabelo
Rio abaixo rio acima
Sayago paira por cima
O sonho vira pesadelo
Vinha eu no meu caíco
A ouvir das águas do douro
Velhas lendas de fronteira
Entre o cristão e o mouro
Quando vi um pescador
A olhar o rio inconsolável
Que é da enguia e do robalo
Da tainha e do sável
(Refrão)
