@100firetiger Zion is not a person. It's the name of the land the Jews were expulsed from in the bible, so they went to Babylon. ;) That's what the song is about.
The biblical story of this, is when the romans burnt the city of jerusalem, pillaging and taking all symbols of Gods Worship with them, and the babylonians sat down and looked back at the city in flames wondering what to do.....
@shearslisa You've got your history a bit confused here. The words are from ancient scripture (Book of Daniel) describing the exiled Jews who were expelled from Jerusaleum by Nebuchadnezzar ll and sent to Babylon - this happened around 570BC, around 600 years before the Romans burnt Jerusalem.
I heard this song when I was a small boy, by the time I didn't know what does it mean...But now I know what it means and I am feeling the same way............
@ZZGIXXXER yes this is the song that the Israelites composed at Psalm 137 when they were taken captive to Babylon it when they say "When we remember Zion " their holy city Jerusalem
When I saw this vid for the first time a few days ago, I was singing along and when the word 'subscribe' popped up, I litterly sang that word too before stopping in a DURR moment, then ROFL and LMAO at myself for being that stupid XDXD
this song has happy melody yet it made me cry...the lyrics struck me so hard. i remembered the verse from the Bible when they were taken to Babylon and God seemed to have forgotten them. i could feel the anguish especially the line "Now how can we sing the Lord's song in a strange land."
it's painful to lookback.. but then, sinners as we are since the beginning of time, God came down to rescue us all. ..
@felixchikotita Gloria a Dios por don Jorge Felix que ya esta a la diestra del Senor, Oremos por nosotros que todavia estamos aqui, y que bueno que tengas ese bonito recuerdo de tu Papito Chulo y si tienes familia en honor a El, has lo mismo siembra recuerdos bonitos en ellos para que algun dia ellos tambien te recuerden con mucho AMOR, Bendiciones
I love this song, i used to listen to english music since i was 6 and this is one of the songs i love listening to in mexico. Lyrics are a visual aid.

original version:
עַל נַהֲרוֹת, בָּבֶל--שָׁם יָשַׁבְנוּ, גַּם-בָּכִינוּ: בְּזָכְרֵנוּ, אֶת-צִיּוֹן.
ב עַל-עֲרָבִים בְּתוֹכָהּ-- תָּלִינוּ, כִּנֹּרוֹתֵינוּ.
ג כִּי שָׁם שְׁאֵלוּנוּ שׁוֹבֵינוּ, דִּבְרֵי-שִׁיר-- וְתוֹלָלֵינוּ שִׂמְחָה:
שִׁירוּ לָנוּ, מִשִּׁיר צִיּוֹן.
ד אֵיךְ--נָשִׁיר אֶת-שִׁיר-יְהוָה: עַל, אַדְמַת נֵכָר.
