Lyrics
Verse 1
By the rivers of Babylon
Here we sit and weep
Remembering days in Zion singing the Lord’s song
Verse 2
On the willows we hung our harps
Captives wishing to be free
They ask us to sing with gladness
The songs of Zion
Chorus
Bring us back, bring us back
How can we sing in a foreign land
Bring is back
Tag
אִם-אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָם-- תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי
Im eshkachech yerushalayim tishkach yemini
(If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill)
Chorus
Bring us back, bring us back
How can we sing in a foreign land
Bring us back
