lyrics

Quantas sabedes amar amigo
treides comig' a lo mar de Vigo.
E bannar nos emos nas ondas!

Quantas sabedes amar amado,
treides comig' a lo mar levado.
E bannar nos emos nas ondas!

Treides comig' a lo mar de Vigo
e veeremo’ lo meu amigo.
E bannar nos emos nas ondas!

Treides comig' a lo mar levado
e veeremo' lo meu amado.
E bannar nos emos nas ondas!
