On the willows there
We hung up our lives
For our captors there required
Of our songs
And our tormentors mirth
(repeat verse, then...)
Saying:
"Sing us one of the songs of Zion"
"Sing us one of the songs of Zion"
"Sing us one of the songs of Zion"
But how can we sing,
Sing the Lord's song,
In a foreign land?
(musical break, then....)
On the willows there,
We hung up our lives
