Joyas Musicales LVI (“By the Rivers of Babylon”)

Recordemos Sión, cuna de todos los pueblos, añoremos su sentido y aprendamos de su espiritualidad para comprender que todos los pueblos somos uno y no existe más raza que una, la raza humana, por cuya unidad, integración y vida en común debemos luchar con la palabra por bandera.

Recordemos a Boney M, un grupo que marcó un estilo con su música pegadiza, sus letras facilonas y su ritmo acompasado, un grupo que revolucionó los 70 y que todavía hoy suena en las pistas de baile.

Soy un nostálgico, lo sé, uno más de mis defectos, pero ¿qué nos queda más que la nostalgia?

BY THE RIVERS OF BABYLON

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord’s song in a strange land
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord’s song in a strange land
Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)
there we sat down (You got to sing a song)
ye-eah we wept, (Sing a song of love)
when we remember Zion. (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
By the rivers of Babylon (Rough bits of Babylon)
there we sat down (You hear the people cry)
ye-eah we wept, (They need that ???)
when we remember Zion. (Ooh, have the power)
