Hi! I'm from Canada and we sang this lovely song at our summer camp. Our version goes like this:

Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Silently flows the river to the sea
and the barges do go silently.

   Chorus:
   Barges I would like to go with you
   I would like to sail the ocean blue.
   Barges have you treasures in your hold
   Do you fight with pirates brave and bold.

Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red
I can see the barges from my bed.

Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges' flickering light.
steadily bound for a far away shore
I wonder what they're searching for.
