Boney M. – Rivers of Babylon – 1978

    Paroles

    By the rivers of babylon, there we sat down
    Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered zion

    By the rivers of babylon, there we sat down
    Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered zion

    When the wicked

    Carried us away in captivity
    Required from us a song
    Now how shall we sing the lord’s song in a strange land

    When the wicked
    Carried us away in captivity
    Required 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 meditations of our heart
    Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

    Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
    Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

    By the rivers of babylon, there we sat down
    Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered zion

    By the rivers of babylon, there we sat down
    Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered zion

    By the rivers of babylon (dark tears of babylon)

    There we sat down (you got to sing a song)
    Ye-eah we wept, (sing a song of love)
    When we remember zion. (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

    By the rivers of babylon (rough bits of babylon)
    There we sat down (you hear the people cry)
    Ye-eah we wept, (they need their God)
    When we remember zion. (ooh, have the power)
