English text

Row, row, gently row,
Down the silvery stream,
In the hour of noontide’s glow,
When the sunray’s gleam;
Past the lilies white and gold,
Where the petals they unfold,
Past where bending willows grow,
Row, row, gently row.
Row, row, gently row,
Singing as ye onward go,
Whilst the silvery ripples whisper,
Murmuring music sweet and low.

Row, row, gently row,
Down the moonlit stream,
When the orb of day is low,
And the lilies dream;
Whilst across the hill and dale
Floats the song of nightingale,
And the stars are all aglow,
Row, row, gently row.
Row, row, gently row,
Singing as ye onward go,
Whilst the silvery ripples whisper,
Murmuring music sweet and low.
