Away by the river so clear
Di tepi sungai yang jernih
The ladies were winding their way
Para wanita berjalan perlahan
And Pharaoh's little daughter
Dan putri Firaun yang kecil
Stepped down in the water
Melangkah ke dalam air
To bathe in the cool of the day
Untuk mandi di sore yang sejuk

Before it was dark she opened the ark
Sebelum gelap, dia membuka peti itu
And found the sweet infant was there
Dan menemukan bayi manis di dalamnya
Before it was dark she opened the ark
Sebelum gelap, dia membuka peti itu
And found the sweet infant was there
Dan menemukan bayi manis di dalamnya

And away by the water so blue
Dan di tepi air yang biru
The infant was lonely and sad
Bayi itu merasa kesepian dan sedih
She took him in pity and thought him so pretty
Dia merasa kasihan dan menganggapnya sangat lucu
And it made little Moses so glad
Dan itu membuat Musa kecil sangat senang

She called him her own, her beautiful son
Dia menyebutnya anaknya, putra yang cantik
And sent for a nurse that was near
Dan memanggil perawat yang dekat
She called him her own, her beautiful son
Dia menyebutnya anaknya, putra yang cantik
And sent for a nurse that was near
Dan memanggil perawat yang dekat

And away by the river so clear
Dan di tepi sungai yang jernih
They carried the beautiful child
Mereka menggendong anak yang cantik itu
To his own tender mother, his sister and brother
Ke ibunya yang lembut, saudara perempuannya, dan saudaranya
Little Moses looked happy and smiled
Musa kecil tampak bahagia dan tersenyum

His mother so good done all that she could
Ibunya yang baik melakukan semua yang dia bisa
To rear him and teach him with care
Untuk membesarkannya dan mengajarinya dengan penuh perhatian
His mother so good done all that she could
Ibunya yang baik melakukan semua yang dia bisa
To rear him and teach him with care
Untuk membesarkannya dan mengajarinya dengan penuh perhatian

And away by the sea that was red
Dan di tepi laut yang merah
Little Moses, the servant of God
Musa kecil, hamba Tuhan
While in him confided the sea was divided
Saat dia mengangkat tongkatnya, laut terbelah
As upward he lifted his rod
Saat dia mengangkat tongkatnya ke atas

The Jews they could cross while Pharaoh's host
Orang-orang Yahudi bisa menyeberang sementara pasukan Firaun
Was drownded in the water and lost
Tenggelam di dalam air dan hilang
The Jews they could cross while Pharaoh's host
Orang-orang Yahudi bisa menyeberang sementara pasukan Firaun
Was drownded in the water and lost
Tenggelam di dalam air dan hilang

And away on the mountain so high
Dan di puncak gunung yang tinggi
The last one that ever might be
Yang terakhir yang mungkin ada
While in his victorious
Saat dalam kemenangannya
His hope was most glorious
Harapannya sangat mulia
He'd soon over the Jordan be free
Dia akan segera bebas di seberang Yordan

When his labors did cease
Ketika pekerjaannya berhenti
He parted in peace
Dia pergi dengan damai
And rested in the heavens above
Dan beristirahat di surga yang tinggi
When his labors did cease
Ketika pekerjaannya berhenti
He parted in peace
Dia pergi dengan damai
And rested in the heavens above
Dan beristirahat di surga yang tinggi
