Näitä miettii mieleni
Vesi venettä viepi
tuuli purjein puhuvi
Näitä miettii mieleni
mieltäni meri ajavi
vaahtopäinä vesi vellovi
Mistä merta kiittäisin
Meri monta miestä niellyt
monta lasta on lainannut
En rantoja rakasta
Meri vienyt on isäni
aaltoihin ainoan veljeni
Mitä meressä aaltoja
Aallot aatoksia isäni
vesi verta mun veljeni
Miksei minua vienyt
Tätä lasta ei lainannut
alle aaltoin ajanut
En käy merta kiittämään
Enkä rantoja rakasta
Näitä rantoja en rakasta
