This song is inspired by biblical themes. The lyrics are based on Psalm 137 from the Bible, which expresses the lament of the Jewish people during their exile in Babylon. The psalm reflects the sorrow and yearning of the Israelites as they long for their homeland, Zion, while in captivity. The most well-known version of "Rivers of Babylon" was recorded by the Jamaican reggae group Boney M. in 1978. The song became a commercial success and is often associated with reggae and disco music. Despite its upbeat and catchy melody, the lyrics convey a deeper sense of longing and nostalgia rooted in the biblical narrative.
Well put. Correction: The Boney M. wasn't a Jamaican group. It was formed in West Germany only 2 girls were from Jamaica 1 was from Mountserat and the Guy was from Aruba the band's founder producer manager and writer was West German Frank Farian who also did the Milli Vanilli lip-syncing Busted duo! Boney M was a disco band from the late 70 to the early 80s but not 1 reggae they had.

Esse cara fumou pelo menos uns trinta baseados antes da gravação. A gente nem ouve a voz dele. A moça de trancinhas e a última da direita(de quem está de frente pro celular) dão show de beleza, charme e simpatia.
O cara é o maior barato. Acho que ele chamou todas antes da gravação. A gente nem ouve a voz dele. As moças, sensacionais... e lindas! Mas essa do meio, a de aqueles penduricalhos nos cabelos, é algo de surreal.
God said,'Even if you are taken captive to Babylon, do not sow the seeds of hatred, anger, and vengeance there, but allow forgiveness so that the bonds may be loosened, bless the land, and work for Shalom of Babylon.'
Once there was a song based on Psalm No 137 sung by the Melodians, then came Boney M who made this song very popular with their disco version and now we have a remake or copy of Boney M with the same song !!
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GROUP EVER - BONEY M AGAIN - I LOVE THEM . THE BEST - I remember my childhood songs that were played on radio , was one of the best songs. This group is very Beautiful -I love them .
