[Dona]1 Janaína
Seria do mar
Dona Janaína
De maiô encarnado
Dona Janaína
Vai se banhar.

Dona Janaína
Princesa do mar
Dona Janaína
Tem muitos amores
É o rei do Congo
É o rei de Aloanda
É o sultão-dos-matos
É Senhor Salvará

Saravá saravá
Dona Janaína
Rainha do mar!

Dona Janaína
Princesa do mar
Daí-me licença
Pra eu também brincar
No vosso reinado.
