音樂分享︰Rivers of Babylon

Rivers of Babylon - Bony M

爸爸是個音樂瘋狂愛好者,我很大部份的音樂喜好都是由他那裡來。

有趣的是前陣子我看英文聖經,看到詩篇 137,第一句就是︰

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

一看就覺得實在太熟了,才知原來小時候常聽的 “Rivers of Babylon” 是取自聖經而寫的!感覺很有趣…

之後也知道原來這作品也用了詩篇 19:14 來寫的。很喜歡!

Rivers of Babylon
— Boney M.

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
Requiring 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
