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!

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.

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"

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

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..
