Текст песни Rivers of Babylon (Boney M.) с переводом

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

Requiring of 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 here tonight

Let the words of our mouth and the meditation 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 remembered 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 remembered Zion. (Ooh, have the power)
