about

Our version of this Rastafarian song written and recorded by Brent Dowe and Trevor McNaughton of the Jamaican reggae group The Melodians in 1970. The lyrics are adapted from the texts of Psalms 19 and 137 in the Bible.

lyrics

Oh by the rivers of Babylon
where we sat down,
And as we wept
when we remembered Zion...

But the wicked
carried us away in captivity
required of us a song
How shall we sing the Lord's sad song
in a strange land?

So let the words of my mouth,
and the meditation of my heart,
be acceptable in thy sight
o Farai
