This song is inspired by biblical themes. The lyrics are based on Psalm 137 from the Bible, which expresses the lament of the Jewish people during their exile in Babylon. The psalm reflects the sorrow and yearning of the Israelites as they long for their homeland, Zion, while in captivity. The most well-known version of "Rivers of Babylon" was recorded by the Jamaican reggae group Boney M. in 1978. The song became a commercial success and is often associated with reggae and disco music. Despite its upbeat and catchy melody, the lyrics convey a deeper sense of longing and nostalgia rooted in the biblical narrative.
Well put. Correction: The Boney M. wasn't a Jamaican group. It was formed in West Germany only 2 girls were from Jamaica 1 was from Mountserat and the Guy was from Aruba the band's founder producer manager and writer was West German Frank Farian who also did the Milli Vanilli lip-syncing Busted duo! Boney M was a disco band from the late 70 to the early 80s but not 1 reggae they had.
