By the rivers of Babylon ,
Where he sat down, 
And there he wept 
When he remembered Zion

Oh, the wicked carried us away in captivity, 
Required from us a song, 
How can we sing King Alpha's song 
Inna strange land? 

So, let the words of our mouth 
And the meditations of our heart 
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Oh, verai!
