Original text and translations

English text

Row, boatman, row us o’er the waters blue,
Row us o’er the waters blue.

The night is bright and fair;
The breeze is fresh, the stars are gleaming,
Sweet music fills the air,-
With joy and love our hearts are teeming;

Then, boatman, row us o’er the stream,
With steady hand and splashing oar
We’ll glide beneath the moon’s soft beam,
Till home again, we’ll be once more.

Boatman, row us o’er the stream,
Row us o’er the placid stream,
The silvery stream.
