Текст песни Добровольный Оркестр Хемулей - На реках вавилонских

Ha rivers of Babylon we are with you, weeping bitterly, sitting;
In the crystal water salty tears dropped;
Between the earth and the sky, the trees, the hot sun killed;
Ha our white stones on black stones of our sitting.

In cities over the river of people was a carefree holiday,
And in the streets singing and wine flowed rivers Zlata;
And in the churches and cathedrals of the priests prayed to God,
And the lamps burning, and quiet kurilsya sweet incense.

But people chased us, because we did not share their joy;
And banished from the temples, because we did not keep their positions;
We sang sad songs, and nobody sad, cried;
They sang songs of joy, and no one danced, laughed.

And we came back again and sat down on the rivers of Babylon;
Key salt and water from the earth burning wounds we washed;
Divide the bread and we love, and we water all the time with an excess;
Forgotten God, waiting for the Exodus and sing their song.
