Rivers Of Babylon (ZDF Die schönsten Melodien der Welt 23.04.1981) - Boney M.

By the rivers of

Babylon,

where we sat down.

there we were,

when he remembered Zion.

By the rivers of

Babylon,

where he sat down.

And there he wept,

when we remembered Zion.

THEN THE WICKED

Carried us away captivity,

required from us a song.

Now how shall we sing the Lord’s song

in a strange land.

THEN THE WICKED

Carried us away captivity,

requiring from us a song.

Now how shall we sing the Lord’s song

in a strange land.

let the words of our mouth,

and the meditation of our heart,

be acceptable in thy sight be tonight

let the words of our mouth,

and the meditation of our heart,

be acceptable in thy sight be tonight

By the rivers of Babylon,

where he sat down.

And there he wept,

when he remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon,

where he sat down.

And there he wept,

when he remembered Zion

By the rivers of Babylon, you take the Babylon

where he sat down.

you hear the people sing a song

And there he wept, sing a song with love

when he remembered Zion.

Lyeaheaheaheah

By the rivers of Babylon, you take the Babylon

where he sat down.

you hear the people cry

And there he wept, they need the power

when he remembered Zion ohhhhhh, got the power

By the rivers of Babylon, oh yeaheah

where we sat down.

yeaheah

Yeaheah we wept…"
