Lyrics
Let us row the oars
The boat pushes away the waves
The beautiful white tower is reflected on the sea surface
Surrounded by green trees and red walls
The boat floats gently in the water
The cool wind blows in the face
The red scarf faces the sun
The sun shines on the sea
The fish in the water look at us
Quietly listen to our happy singing
The boat floats gently In the water
The cool wind blows in the face
After finishing the day's homework
Let's have fun
I ask you, dear Partner
Who arranged a happy life for us
The boat floated gently in the water
A cool wind blew in our face
