The Melodians - Rivers Of Babylon

Эта бесня была написана в 1972 г. Брентом Доу (Brent Dowe) и Тревором МакНотоном (Trevor McNaughton). Песня основана на библейском псалме 136 (137): "При реках Вавилона, там сидели мы и плакали, когда вспоминали о Сионе..." By the rivers of Babylon Where we sat down And there we wept When we remembered Zion But the wicked carried us away in captivity Required from us a song How can we sing King Alfa song In a strange land Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity Required from us a song How can we sing King Alfa song In a strange land Sing it out loud Sing a song of freedom sister Sing a song of freedom brother We gotta sing and shout it We gotta talk and shout it Shout the song of freedom now So let the words of our mouth And the meditation of our heart Be acceptable in Thy sight Over I So let the words of our mouth And the meditation of our heart Be acceptable in Thy sight Over I Sing it again We've got to sing it together Everyone of us together By the rivers of Babylon...
