Vini Contreas - Tears In Exile

By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down and wept
When we remembered Zion
Upon the willows, In the midst of it
We hung our harps For there our captors
Demanded of us songs,

And our tormentors mirth saying
Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
But how can you sing the Lord's songs in a foreign land

If I forget you, oh Jerusalem
May my right hand forget its skills
May my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth
If I do not remember you, if I do not exalt

Jerusalem above my chief joy
Remember, oh Lord, against the sons of Eden
The day of Jerusalem, when they said
Raise it to its very foundation

Oh daughter of Babylon, you devastated one
How blessed will be the one who repays you
With the recompense with which you have repaid us
How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes
Your little ones against the rock

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down and wept
When when we remembered Zion
Upon the willows, In the midst of it
We hung our harps Oh there our captors
Demanded of us songs
And our tormentors mirth saying
Sing us one of the songs of Zion
But how can you sing the Lord's songs in a foreign land
