[matterhorn1975]

5*****:)

[wilss4]

her voice so great n still not changing :)

[fustyans]

@wilss4 ...... thats because she's lip synching to the original track !!!

[wilss4]

boney m nd liz rocks :)

[nick345ize1]

makes me wanna dance!

[butterflydiva72]

Adore Bony M!!

[DragQueenPriscilla]

Its a pity we miss Bobby!!!!

[rksobers]

Liz Mitchell still has her Golden Voice

[tunderdog2010]

Boney M is just too much, his songs are timeless ....

[b83cyui]

いつ聴いても良いな！！

[fustyans]

I feel cheated. When Boney Ms songs were hits, The group consisted of Liz, Marcia, Bobby and Maizie. Now i look back after all these years and what it this ?

Liz Mitchel (who was and is the voice of Boney M) but even here, shes "Miming" and who the hell are those other three?

If it wasnt for Liz being there (although not singing live) this would be just a cheap Boney M Tribute Group......

[hughj34]

disappointing lip sync

[michaelgonzalezjaram]

they're just the best

[mwasakafyukasamson]

ooh my God, great song, Boney M, u rocked our fathers hearts.

[ITALIANSMILE14U]

GREAT SONG....BONEY M YOUR BRILL!!

[leatherbytes]

Luv it!!!

[72chivita]

Wuuuuuaaaaoooowwwh sigue interpretandola iguaalito no se ecucha ninguna diferencia!!!.Presiosa cancion que me llena el corazon de nostalgia y alegria; cada que la escucho se me ecalofria el cuerpo entero!!!.

[CookCpt]

It is in fact the disco version of Boney M, but it can not have been recorded in 1974 ... their version dates from 1978! Who is singing here ?

Rivers of Babylon was originally a folk song from Rasta communities, drums are on a pace Nyahbinghi and lyrics are based on biblical ideals of Rastafarianism.

[CookCpt]

According to Biblical hymn Psalm 137(a hymn expressing the yearnings of the Jewish people in exile following the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem in 586 BC) :

By the rivers of Babylon (Euphrates and Tigris), Where we sat down, And there we wept, When we remembered Zion (Jerusalem).

Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity, Requiring from us a song, How can we sing King Alpha (Haile Selassie) Song, In a strange land.

[CookCpt]

@CookCpt Passage en français du psaume 137 inspirant la chanson :

Sur les bords des fleuves de Babylone,nous étions assis et nous pleurions, en nous souvenant de Sion.

Aux saules de la contrée nous avions suspendu nos harpes.

Là, nos vainqueurs nous demandaient des chants, et nos oppresseurs de la joie: Chantez-nous quelques-uns des cantiques de Sion!

Comment chanterions-nous les cantiques de l'Eternel sur une terre étrangère ?

[glenn20081965]

Fab!

[remon83100]

chaldene babylon

[remon83100]

wow nice song iam forme Babylon god belss Babylon

[WILLIAMFOLIAO10]

Mas, o Boney M surgiu somenet em 1976. Em 1974, Frank Farian lançou uma canção que seria a base da formação do grupo, dois anos depois. E o vídeo parece mostrar uma das últimas formações do grupo. Mas, eu amo essa música, amo esse grupo maravilhoso, que muito recorda minha infância. Para sempre ererno Boney M.

[Neldana1]

Bible: Psalm 137 1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. 2 There on the poplars we hung our harps, 3 for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!" 4 How can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land?

Hebrews bondage in Babylon: By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion... 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. How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land? Bible (Psalm 137)

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD... (Psalm 19:14) TomorrowsWorld. or

babilonia, (babel) fundada por nimrod, este fue el primer hombre podersoso de la tierra, tanto ke hizo que toda la tierra hablara una sola lengua, y todos eran uno, segun algunos primer maestro masonico y kiso establecer UN NUEVO ORDEN MUNDIAL., tal como bush sr. lo menciono el 11 de sep. de 1990, y reiterado por el mismo el 11 de sep. de 1991..y justo 10 anios despues: BANG BANG, las torres gemelas. segun los ciclos de venus y el sol, podria ser ke si...ke piensan???

[CIELOTEAMO26]

[ANTRAXXX1862]

Apocalipsis 17.5.

Y en su frente un nombre escrito, un misterio:

Babilonia la grande, la madre de las rameras y

de las abominaciones de la tierra.

[BeaHansen]

i love the voice of liz mitchell..

[agentleman121]

Good song. Are they a gospel group? I need more information. I am writing a commentary of the Bible and right now I am concentrating on Psalm 137. I remembered this song being a hit and now I remember weeping about it.

[jamezadlam]

The lead singer is Liz Mitchell. The classic line-up of Boney M was Liz Mitchell, Bobby Farrell, Marcia Barrett and Maizie Williams.

This video is a modern performance by the current 'official' line-up of Liz Mitchell, Patricia Foster, Carol Grey and Tony Ashcroft.

[jcforever27]

can anyone tell me the name of all 4 of them?especially the lead singer

[candychocolat]

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows... 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. How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land? Bible (Psalm 137)

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Bible (Psalm 19:14)

[moralesalejo]

Que ocurrió con el flaquito que bailaba? este negro parece hipopótamo,no baila igual

[arianzo]

Linda cancion.

¿Se supone que es una cancion religiosa?

[fanteza]

its a salm

[CataDanna]

Psalm 137

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

There on the poplars we hung our harps,

for there our captors asked us for songs,

our tormentors demanded songs of joy;they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"

How can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land?

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.

May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.

[CataDanna]

Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did

on the day Jerusalem fell.

"Tear it down," they cried,

"tear it down to its foundations!"

O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,

happy is he who repays you

for what you have done to us-

he who seizes your infants

and dashes them against the rocks.

[fanteza]

thxs!! when i was a litle boy my parents use to hear this song but i did not speak english that time. Now i think its a very nice song.

[muts12344]

the woman that sings is Liz the orginal singer from boney M the three people behind? I dont know....but not bobby farell

[someleili]

whats wrong with the fellow behind??he ruins the whole performance!whats up with the open shirt?get real.

[papsmcgee]

This is pretty cool but there is a version of the same psalm by lori chaffer called "please don't make us sing this song" I think it better captures the mournful spirit of the original author of the psalm. I couldn't find it on youtube but google video has it (can't post url on youtube so just search). Check it out and tell me what you think?

[someleili]

thanks for the tip,I´ll check it out=)

bless u

[TheMastFravekator]

papsmcgee, the original version of this song (Melodians - RIvers of Babylon) is waaaaaay much better than Boney M's version

[nimitz92]

there 1 na that great

[someleili]

Psa 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

Psa 137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

Psa 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.

Psa 137:4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?

...

[someleili]

Psa 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

great song=)

[muhdamri]

[dd34999]

Liz Mitchell still sounds as fantastic as ever. I would love to invent a time machine and go back in time to 1978 and see the Original Boney M in concert. That would be awesome!
