Chữ Nhật:

その船を漕いでゆけ お前の手で漕いでゆけ
お前が消えて喜ぶ者にお前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
その船は今どこでぼろぼろで進んでいるのか
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 お前の手で漕いでゆけ
お前が消えて喜ぶ者にお前のオールをまかせるな

その船は自らを宙船と忘れているのか
その船は舞いあ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 お前の手で漕いでゆけ
お前が消えて喜ぶ者にお前のオールをまかせるな

何の試験の時間なんだ
何を裁くはかりなんだ
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

その船を漕いでゆけ お前の手で漕いでゆけ
お前が消えて喜ぶ者にお前のオールをまかせるな

その船を漕いでゆけ お前の手で漕いでゆけ
お前が消えて喜ぶ者にお前のオールをまかせるな

Bản dịch sang tiếng Anh:

Row that boat, row it with your hands
Don't entrust your oars
with those who'll rejoice when you're gone

Where is that boat, wandering around in the air?
Where is that boat, falling apart but plowing forward?
Fighting the current, the ship holds strong, the ship takes hits
Even when the sailors give in to fear and abandon ship

Row that boat, row it with your hands
Don't entrust your oars
with those who'll rejoice when you're gone

Has that ship forgotten it's a sky ship?
Has that ship forgotten the moment it lifts into the air?
At the end of the horizon of land, of sea
That is where the ship takes off
Even if all the ports kill their lights and fall to silence
Row that boat, row it with your hands
Don't entrust your oars
with those who'll rejoice when you're gone

What trial is this?
What do these scales measure?
What are you aiming for in being with me?
What makes this ship move?
What trial is this?
What do these scales measure?
What are you aiming for in being with me?
What makes this ship move?

Row that boat, row it with your hands
Don't entrust your oars
with those who'll rejoice when you're gone

Row that boat, row it with your hands
Don't entrust your oars
with those who'll rejoice when you're gone
