ETenia quince años, cuando, en un barcu,
colEó pa B7Cuba desde XixEión
y a los seis mesB7es, tornó pa el puEeblu,
n´otru veB7lero, de poliEzón
EDespués anduvo, per muchos mares,
En´una goB7leta y un galeEón;
y en tanto en puB7ertu, xunto a una neEña,
siempre emcopB7laba esta canciEon:
Si torno a la B7mar, ye pa ser capiEtan,
que nun ye B7vida, esta de ser mariEñar,
y escuchame biB7en, lo que te voy decirE:
de capiB7tana, tengo llévate a Eti.
EMuB7sicEaB7  E  
Cuando la guerra, tuvo en la Habana,
de cañoneru, sirviendo al rey
y anduvo en tratos, co la metralla,
y una cubana de camagüey.
Cuando y dixeron, una mañana,
que ya firmaben la rendición,
fue a despedirse de la mulata,
con un abrazu y la so canción
Btorno A   Amar, ye pa ser capitan,
que nun ye vida, esta de ser mariñar,
y escuchame bien, lo que te voy decir:
de capitana, tengo llévate a ti.
Btorno A   Amar, ye pa ser capitan,
que nun ye vida, esta de ser mariñar,
y escuchame bien, lo que te voy decir:
de capiB7tana, tengo llévate a Eti.
