I’m just a poor wayfaring stranger
a traveling through this world of woe
yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
in that bright land to which I go
I’m going home, no more to roam
I’m just agoing over Jordan
I’m just agoing over home

Jordan river is deep and wide
I've gotta make it to the other side
Gonna see my loved ones
When I get home
Jordan river is chilly and cold
but I’m gonna make it to the city of gold
I'm just agoing, agoing home

我只是一個流浪的異鄉人
在痛苦的世界中旅行
但那裡無病痛哀傷和危險
在我要去的燦爛之地
我將回天家不再流浪’
我正要穿過約但河
我正要回天家

約旦河深而廣
我將渡到對岸
要去見我的親人
當我回天家
約旦河水冰冷
但我將渡到黃金城
我正要回天家
