There’s a boat in the harbour that is shipshape,

There’s a boat, and I said to a shipmate:

“She will sail, I’ve a notion, 

with a bob-bob-bobbing motion

Away and away over the ocean.”

When we sailed across the ocean

All our troubles lay behind us.

Swiftly, swiftly, sped our vessel

To the far horizon.

And awaiting us on the skyline

Was the little Boat of Life,

Riding safe and calm.

港口有艘整齊的小船，

有艘小船, 我對夥伴說：

「我有個念頭，

她將輕鬆出航

在海上走啊走」

當我們航越海洋，

所有憂慮拋諸身後。

輕輕快快小舟航行

直至遙遠的地平線。

在天際等著我們的是

小小生命之船，

安安穩穩向前。
