Jimmy Cliff — The Harder They Come

Текст песни: The Harder They Come

Rivers of Babylon Lyrics[Refrain]
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept
When he remember Zion

[Verse 1]
'Cause di wicked carried us away captivity
Require from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
'Cause di wicked carried us away captivity
Require from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
(Sing it out loud!)
[Chorus]
Sing a song of freedom, sister!
Sing a song of freedom, broth-brother!
We got to sing and shout it!
We got to jump and shout it! (Yes-yes)
Shout the song of freedom now (Wow-wow-wow!)

[Verse 2]
So, let the words of our mouth
And di meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Oh, Far I
So, let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Oh, Far I (Sing it out, wo-ho!)

[Chorus]
We've got to sing it together (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
We've got to shout it together (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Oh-oh, na-na-na (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

[Refrain]
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept
When he remember Zion
[Outro]
'Cause di wicked carried us away captivity
