Original text and translations

English text

Rowing, rowing homewards, homewards,
On the flowing stream,
Rowing, rowing homewards, homewards,
List’ning to the nightingale
’Neath the moon’s pale beam!

Rowing, homewards, homewards,
O’er the sandy bars,
Rowing, homewards, homewards,
List’ning to the evening breeze
’Neath the golden stars!

Rowing, homewards, homewards,
’Mid the shadows dim,
Rowing, rowing homewards, homewards,
Whilst the silver-noted birds
Trill their vesper hymn!

Rowing, homewards, homewards,
On the flowing stream,
Rowing, homewards, homewards,
Till the rosy dawn appears,
There to rest, to rest and
There to dream!
