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

Row that boat, row that boat with your own handsDon't give your own orle to those who rejoice in your absence
Where are that boat, at this moment, floating unsteadily?Where are that boat, at this moment, sailing about with chewed up?Sailing against the upstream not to be flownThe boat combats, the boat gets broken,Even though all the sailors ran away in terrorRow that boat, row that boat with your own handsDon't give your own orle to those who rejoice in your absence
Has that boat forgotten being Cosmic Boat herself?Has that boat forgotten that time when she soars free?The horizon of the sea or the landThat's where she takes offEven though all the havens stayed silent turning off their lightsRow that boat, row that boat with your own handsDon't give your own orle to those who rejoice in your absence
What is the test done for? what does scale judge?Why are you going around with me? What makes that boat move?What is the test done for? what does scale judge?Why are you going around with me? What makes that boat move?Row that boat, row that boat with your own handsDon't give your own orle to those who rejoice in your absenceRow that boat, row that boat with your own handsDon't give your own orle to those who rejoice in your absence
