(Norwegian)
Ro, ro, ro din båt.
Ta din åre fatt.
Vuggende, vuggende, vuggende, vuggende
over Kattegatt*.
(English)
Row, row, row your boat
Start rowing
Rocking, rocking, rocking, rocking
Over Kattegat*.
*Kattegat is a bay of the North Sea. The word Kattegatt comes from Dutch and German and means "cat hole" as in the narrow round hole doors used to have at the bottom to let the cat in and out, because this bay was very narrow and difficult to sail through.
(Original English Version)
Row, row, row, your boat,
Gently down the stream,
Merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
