Uma barquinha branca... Uma cabana... E em volta da cabana, — coqueirais... O mar em frente... A vida soberana De ser pobre e pescador... Viver feliz com o teu amor E — nada mais... Ou no cimo de um monte — uma choupana E em volta da choupana — laranjais... Soprar a frauta quérula, de cana, Ter um rebanho, e ser pastor... Viver feliz com o teu amor E — nada mais...
