Pretty sure they are singing "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down.
THERE wept when we remembered Zion." That is what they are singing (not "Yeah, we wept ..."). (Some translations of Psalm 137 have the word "yea" -- not "yeah" -- in the text, some do not.)
And the echo part at the end is not "rough bits" of Babylon. It's probably "waters of Babylon" or maybe "daughter of Babylon" (a phrase also from Psalm 137).
Awesome! My Mom & I used to dance around to this when I was @ 12 years
old! :-) Boney M & Modern Talking are two of my mother's favorite dance groups & she's almost 80 yrs. old!!! :-) (Still Very Healthy + Never smoked nor drank liquor)
hermosa canción no se nadita de ingles pero me encanta. Que hermosas canciones y que recuerdos me vienen a mi memoria gracias por estas canciones. Saludos de Mexico
Eata canción se refiere a la época cuando el pueblo judío fue llevado cautivo a Babilonia y lloraban junto a los ríos de ese lugar por estar alejados de su tierra. Le dicen a Dios "que las palabras de mi boca y las meditaciones de mi corazón sean agradables a Tí." Salmo 19
Did you know that the lyrics to this song is Biblical...Psalm 137:1,4 and Psalm 19:14 King James Version...It truly is a blessed song and encouraging when in times of trouble. Praise God
@gavinleigh11Yes, it is Biblical alright. It's about the day when Babylon, after conquering Jerusalem, carried away the Jews to Babylon. U will get more information about this conquest in the Book of Jeremiah and his lamentations. The prophet Jeremiah tried so hard to prevent the conquest of Judah by challenging the Jews to give up idolatry & other evils; instead, his people, especially the king & aristocrats, persecuted him. Other prophets were even killed because the Jews didn't believe.
I just heard on the news that the guy in the group, sorry forgotten his name, has just died while touring in Russia. Very sad news. Boney M were a great group.

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.

It isn't 'dark tears of babylon' but 'daughters of babylon', the same with
'rough bits' which should be 'prophetes'
But other than that thank u for posting, I'm a big Boney M. fan!!!
