                      * 노래 : 보니엠 (Boney- M)

 

 By the rivers of Babylon,  there we sat down

 Yeah we wept,  when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon,  there we sat down

Yeah 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 stran~ge land.

 

When the wicked carried us away in captivity.

required of us a song.

Now how shall we sing the lord’s song,

in a stran~ge 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

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down

Yeah 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)

Yeah 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)

Yeah we wept (They need that )

When we remembered Zion.(Ooh, have the power)
