その船を漕いでゆけ
おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に
おまえのオールをまかせるな

その船は今どこに
ふらふらと浮かんでいるのか
その船は今どこで
ボロボロで進んでいるのか
流されまいと逆らいながら
船は挑み 船は傷み
すべての水夫が
恐れをなして逃げ去っても

その船を漕いでゆけ
おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に
おまえのオールをまかせるな

その船は自らを
宙船(そらふね)と 忘れているのか
その船は舞い上がる
その時を 忘れているのか
地平の果て 水平の果て
そこが船の離陸地点
すべての港が
灯りを消して黙り込んでも

その船を漕いでゆけ
おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に
おまえのオールをまかせるな

何の試験の時間なんだ
何を裁く秤(はかり)なんだ
何を狙って付き合うんだ
何が船を動かすんだ
何の試験の時間なんだ
何を裁く秤なんだ
何を狙って付き合うんだ
何が船を動かすんだ

その船を漕いでゆけ
おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に
おまえのオールをまかせるな
その船を漕いでゆけ
おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に
おまえのオールをまかせるな

Translation

 

Row your boat
Row it with your own hands
Don't let those who would be happy to see you gone
Have your oars

Where is that boat
Floating now?
Where is that run-down boat
Headed now?
Trying not to get washed away
The boat fights, the boat gets damaged
Even if all the sailors
Run away in fear

Row your boat
Row it with your own hands
Don't let those who would be happy to see you gone
Have your oars

Has that boat forgotten
That it is a sky boat?
Has that boat forgotten
What it's like to fly?
On land or sea, the horizon
Is where it takes off
Even if all the ports
Put out their lights in silence

Row your boat
Row it with your own hands
Don't let those who would be happy to see you gone
Have your oars

What test is this?
What do the scales judge?
What are you after?
What makes that boat go?
What test is this?
What do the scales judge?
What are you after?
What makes that boat go?

Row your boat
Row it with your own hands
Don't let those who would be happy to see you gone
Have your oars
Row your boat
Row it with your own hands
Don't let those who would be happy to see you gone
Have your oars
