  • 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

  • I've heard lots of covers of this song , from Jimmy Cliff , to the Neville Brothers , and even Steve Earle . But the original outshines them all.

    WEEPING, WE SAT beside the rivers of Babylon thinking of Jerusalem.

    We have put away our lyres, hanging them upon the branches of the willow trees, for how can we sing? Yet our captors, our tormentors, demand that we sing for them the happy songs of Zion! If i forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill upon the harp. If i fail to love her more than my highest joy, let me never sing again.

    O Jah, do not forget what these Edomites did on that day when....

  • @Alonb64 the Bible is good for knowledge and inspiration.

  • Strange responses for this video once more.

  • Finally, the bible is good for something (inspiring this song)

  • @shaharmos Who cares, we're here for the Melodians.
