English term or phrase: Down the Stream
Down the Stream -
This is a kids song. It goes like this:

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.
Meerily, meerily, meerily life is but a dream.....

Is there any Polish equivalent?

z nurtem rzeki


Explanation:
"To row down the stream," means "wioslowac z nurtem rzeki."

Are you looking for the whole song?

I don't think "Row, row, row your boat" is an "international" song, like "Silent Night," or "Frere Jacques." (But like "Frere Jacques," it is a round (tzn. kanon) so you can actually sing it with someone singing "Frere Jacques" and it comes out quite well. (-: )

down the stream - nursery rhyme
płyń płyń łódką swą


Explanation:
Podczas tłumaczenia dialogów pewnej kreskówki dla pewnego kanału musiałem to przetłumaczyć. Podaję dwie wersje, bo sam nie wiem, która lepsza. Starałem się maksymalnie uchwycić sens rymowanki. I zaśpiewać można... Oczywiście skorzystałem przy tym z propozycji mojej przedmówczyni, która wpisała się w ten temat wcześniej. Więc powinno się to nazywać praca zbiorowa. He, he..

Example sentence(s):
  • Płyń, płyń łódką swą, z prądem unoś się. Wesoły, wesoły, wesoły wesoły życia marzeń sen.
  • Płyń, płyń łódką swą, z prądem unoś się. Wesoło, wesoło, wesoło wesoło w życiu bawmy się.
