    Lyrics:
    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
    Requiering 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 meditations of our heart
    be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
    Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
    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)

The black guy dancing around is not singing anything, the song was written by a german white guy who is doing the singing, the guy you see jumping around is lip syncing. In addition, the good looking gal the camera is focusing on is also lip syncing, she is in there as window dressing. The person who created this whole thing should get an award.

      @Peter Evans . This recording is analogue. Digita recording of music began in the midst 70's with classical music , made by Philips and Deutsche Gramophon . In the end if 70's, Giorgio Moroder made the first digital recording for an album, the mane is E=MC². But the first album totally in digital recording was The Visitors, the last album of ABBA. It's realized for a "new" technology called compact disc. An analogue recording if well done can be so good than a digital recording, but to show their sound quality depends of the transcript to digital.

      Я на них впервые открыла свой путь к музыке. Я типичный подросток, но такое ощущение, что не 2024 года, а 1960. Ношу всякую хиповую одежду, скупаю барахолки и занимаюсь прочей ересью. Все началось с того, что я случайно нашла кассету с каким-то "Bony M", забытую за комодом терассы прошлых владельцев участка. Включила и не могла оторваться. Там же я нашла целую кассетницу с записями тех же владельцев, там был Демис Руссос, Абба, Бони М, Модерн Токинг, Квин, Дипиш Мод... Переслушала все. Тогда я сама решила их записывать. И однажды, на компьютере, с которого записывала на кассеты песни с CZcams, в рекомендациях мне попались неизвестные The Beatles. На кассетах их не было. Послушала... Тогда уже Boney M я забросила, ведь заслушала до дыр все их песни. Для меня открывается новый путь - The Beatles. Загадочная, тогда неизвестная для меня группа. Я не могла оторваться от них. Я все никак не могла выучить имена английских, как тогда оказалось, незнакомцев, но в одного из них я влюбилась с первого взгляда - я не знала его имени, интернет не ловил. Но все же я спросила у отца, что это за участник, он удивился, что я слушаю такое старье, и сказал, что это Пол Маккартни. Я мгновенно забыла его имя, но кусок все же остался. Я его так любила, и начала называть его просто "Макар". Эта битломания со мной уже 2 года. Кстати, я хиппи с 47 вещами битлз. Вот так я и нашла для себя свой вкус, нашла себя.

      It's based on the bible.

      Psalm 137:1 KING JAMES VERSION
      By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. {137:2} We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. {137:3} For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. {137:4} How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land? {137:5} If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. {137:6} If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. {137:7} Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. {137:8} O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. {137:9} Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

    This song is an Immortal song. I have heard this moving song hundreds of times since I heard it in 1978. But it is always moving and spiritual. What a great song this is!!

      Well, the words ARE taken from the Bible. Psalm 137:1,4-5 and Psalm 19:14.

    I was born in '76. I remember this song from when I was little and it was played on the radio. I'm also pretty sure that my parents had the record, too which is why I know it so well and loved it back then.
    For some TOTALLY random reason it just popped in my head just now, after all this time?! Weird.
    It's so odd hearing it now when I'm 46, and actually hearing the words and understanding them. Esp now I've just become a Christian 3yrs ago almost (baptised last year.) So I'm like, "Oh, that's what it's (the song,) all about."
    Amazing song!! And wow their voices are so good!! 😍❤

      That's a great story! Congrats on finding Jesus! I'm a bit younger, but I had the same thing happen with the song Baba Yetu from the game Civilization 4. I liked the song, but forgot about it. Then I found it again after converting, and come to find out, the lyrics are the Lord's prayer in Swahili. It gave a whole new meaning to the song and I praise God for it!

      And yes, it's surprising (to me,) *just how many* songs are actually about God or biblical times, that I've heard and listened to time and again and it's only now I'm a Christian I recognise that at all!
      I suppose the whole "Eyes to see and ears to listen," couldn't be truer, eh? 😉
