c 1995 Rahel Lyrics: Psalms
Produced by Mikial Robertson, Nashua, NH. 2000.
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and we wept
As we remembered Zion. Upon the willows on its banks we hung
up our harps. But how shall we sing the song of our L-rd on foreign soil?
Al naharot Bavel, al naharot Bavel, al naharot Bavel
Sham yashavnu, sham yashavnu sham yashavnu gahm bakhinu
B'zakhray-nu, b'zakhraynu, b'zakhraynu, b?'akhraynu et Tsion
Al aravim, al aravim, al aravim b'tokha
Talinu, talinu, talinu keenorotaynu
Ekh na-shir, ekh na-shir et shir HaShem
Ekh na-shir et shir HaShem al admat neh-khar
Oh...
Al naharot Bavel, al naharot Bavel, al naharot Bavel
