the song of 'Rivers of Babylon'

Zion (Hebrew: ציון‎) (also transliterated Sion, Tzion or Tsion) is a place name often used as a synonym for Jerusalem.[1][2] The word is first found in Samuel II, 5:7 dating to c.630–540 BCE according to modern scholarship. It commonly referred to a specific mountain near Jerusalem (Mount Zion), on which stood a Jebusite fortress of the same name that was conquered by David and was named the City of David. The term Tzion came to designate the area of Jerusalem where the fortress stood, and later became a metonym for Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, the city of Jerusalem and generally, the World to Come. In Kabbalah the more esoteric reference is made to Tzion[3] being the spiritual point from which reality emerges, located in the Holy of Holies of the First, Second and Third Temple.

Acutally the first time when i listened to it i was just a teenager,listening from a radio.
 
The reason i like this song is cos of its excellent rythem, well matched heart beat. a kind of sychronization effect.

When I browzed from the music forum i found it. it was such a good feeling, like meeting an old friend. Excellent!


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

(Instrumental)

Yeah Yeah Yeah
Let the words of our mouth
and the meditations of our hearts
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.

(Instrumental)

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,
there we sat down
ye-eah we
