  • This is not a cover of the of 1978s Boney M version!

    The lyrics are from the original version of "rivers of Babylon" by the Melodians from 1972..

  • the melodians version is better than the boney m version. it reflects better the feeling of the words. and this version reflects even deeper!

    Babylon: Happy is the one who seizes your infants

    and dashes them against the rocks.

    Jah love!

  • jah rastafary...yes I'... jah bless...

    

  • Sinead O' is a good artist. I love her songs and her personality. She is a very brave woman.

  • The Melodians were so good.

  • @21envy and were sent here to Australia as convicts. It was a deliberate policy as the English believed that Colonial societies could only become profitable created by salves or convicts.

  • I always thought this show was absolutely disrespectful, she just can't get on the stage with Jewish Tefilin items, Sinead could have been bigger without such a behaviour. Really bad idea. Unacceptable and coarse. I understand she tried to be as rebel as she could but not breaking the rules.

  • @JoanCollins2009

    Nope, the original is from the Melodians, released in 1970.

    Boney M released their version in 1978. On the B-side was "brown girl in the ring", which was a cover, too. Boney M even got sued for "plagiarization"

  • @dunjak111

    wrong boney m did this version then it was changed for the final version search boney m rivers early version and you will hear them sing this text

  • Una buona interpretazione,con la suavoce può fare Tutto..
