See the hearts that deeply woe 
On the banks of Nile they watch their loved ones being washed away 

Path of life as we all know 
Isn't wide enough for all of us to walk through the day 

Flow with the flood of Nile 
Hear the cry of deep waters 
Go to the distant isle 
Where the sunset glows 

Flow with the flood of Nile 
Leave your sons and dear daughters 
They will still stay awhile 
While the river flows 
While the river flows 

Sorrow's sister human joy 
Shall not bring the tears of laughter in our eyes today 

Ferryman's grave load on joy 
And we lay to rest our loved ones in this mournful way 

Flow with the flood of Nile 
Hear the cry of deep waters 
Go to the distant isle 
Where the sunset glows 

Flow with the flood of Nile 
Leave your sons and dear daughters 
They will still stay awhile 
While the river flows 
While the river flows
