A virxe de Guadalupe cando veu para Rianxo, a barquiña que a trouxo era de pau de laranxo. Ondiñas veñen, ondiñas veñen ondiñas veñen e van non te embarques rianxeira que te vas a marear. A virxe de Guadalupe cando vai pola ribeira, descalciña pola area parece unha rianxeira. Ondiñas veñen, ondiñas veñen ondiñas veñen e van non te embarques rianxeira que te vas a marear. A virxe de Guadalupe quen a puxo moreniña, foi a raíña de sol que entrou pola ventaniña. Ondiñas veñen, ondiñas veñen ondiñas veñen e van non te embarques rianxeira que te vas a marear. | |
