I'm 47. From a folder tucked far away in the back of my memory this wonderful song played for a split second in my mind. I found it immediately on YT. And in the past week I've listened to it at least 20 times. Truly timeless.
We love Boney M here in Mizoram, India. Without listening to at least one Boney M song we can’t celebrate Christmas. Almost all of us grow up listening to Boney M and the tradition still lives on. Every year around Christmas you can be sure that you’ll hear Boney M song everywhere
Little drummer boy, hooray horray, hark the herald angel sing, Mary’s boy child, Feliz Navidad and even non Christmas songs like Daddy cool, rivers of Babylon, Rasputin.
Same! I grew up in Romania, moved to the US in 1987. I now remember my parents playing this on their 8-track, yet I had not heard this song in over 40 years. I stumbled upon it, and it hit hard within my chest!!! It all came flooding back. It is an amazing feeling...
It's lived a life before this... Psalm 137 [1] By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. [2] We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. [3] For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
The greatest music group (Boney M) of all time.When I was 21 years old used to hear their songs frequently in office. Now i am 60 years old and still listening to it. From cassette,Cd's,Usb and now social media videos was my tools to keep listening to this evergreen songs. My sincere gratitude to this music group. For those departed soul may you rest in peace as your contribution to the music world is fully recognized and with blessings.
Selvaraj Munisamy Me 2!! Exactly, from cassette, CD’s, USB and now social media videos...... this song won’t be taken away by any fashions coming ahead.
Esa entrada 0:34 fue legendaria, ufff que voz tan mágica. Dejaré este comentario por acá en Dic. 2024 por si alguien le da me gusta cualquier futuro me recuerde volverla a escuchar 🎖️😍🙏🏽🎖️
This song is an Immortal song. I have heard this moving song hundreds of times since I heard it in 1978. But it is always moving and spiritual. What a great song this is!!
So weird people are commenting on this lately it's such a great song ....I also listened to a lot of Eddy Grant tonight as well and Boney M. 300 times on loop....
The performance? Only the woman in red was singing. The others had their microphones not even plugged in. The music was coming from the band and the background singers, which were no part of Boney M. This group was all fake.
@@quinnard9750 I am German and I was a kid when this band started their career in Germany. Everybody knew this in these days. Their producer Frank Farian never made it a secret. And Frank Farian was the singer of the male voice. Only later with Milli Vanilli, he kept under the carpet that the two boys were only lip synching.
2023 and still listening after so many years I can never get enough of this song. Boney M. masters of vocal harmonies. I was 14 at the time when they performed in Poland and I was crying listening to this band. This is how much I loved them and I still do for the rest of my life. I also used to play this song with my wedding cover band on every gig.
My Dad had a Cd shop, he used to play Boney M Christmas classics, he died when i was 13 unexpectedly and Christmas has never been the same😢. I miss you my old Man. Till we meet again, I love you ❤

@@lefteriseleftheriades7381 The last verse was likely the Words of their Mouths and the Mediations of their Hearts while sitting by the Rivers in Babylon remembering what evil the Babylonians did to their children in Zion. Read the history. A few years later… the Handwriting was on the Wall…and the prayers of the Israelites were answered. Moral of the story: Don’t f with the Jews. It won’t go well with you.
@@lefteriseleftheriades7381 Perfectly clear from the beginning (and until TheEnd)…those that come against Israel face the Promise of The God of Abraham Issac and Jacob in Genesis 12:1-3.

A beautiful, uplifting song. The warm applause at the beginning tells you how already appreciative of the song the audience was. What I recall about the song is that in 1978/79 it was played a few times at friends’ birthday parties (as pop music ideal for nine and ten-year-olds) as well as at some social events like car boot sales. It’s just so cheery. But folk back then got the biblical references. And even today this song is an antidote to the grimness that’s so pervasive in popular entertainment today.
Not sure I would say uplifting. It is a lamentation sung by the people of Israel moving into Babylonian captivity, asking themselves how it be possible to sing praises ever again. It is very sad.
I was born in '76. I remember this song from when I was little and it was played on the radio. I'm also pretty sure that my parents had the record, too which is why I know it so well and loved it back then. For some TOTALLY random reason it just popped in my head just now, after all this time?! Weird. It's so odd hearing it now when I'm 46, and actually hearing the words and understanding them. Esp now I've just become a Christian 3yrs ago almost (baptised last year.) So I'm like, "Oh, that's what it's (the song,) all about." Amazing song!! And wow their voices are so good!! 😍❤
That's a great story! Congrats on finding Jesus! I'm a bit younger, but I had the same thing happen with the song Baba Yetu from the game Civilization 4. I liked the song, but forgot about it. Then I found it again after converting, and come to find out, the lyrics are the Lord's prayer in Swahili. It gave a whole new meaning to the song and I praise God for it!
@@BigSunshine55 TY! And yes, it's surprising (to me,) *just how many* songs are actually about God or biblical times, that I've heard and listened to time and again and it's only now I'm a Christian I recognise that at all! I suppose the whole "Eyes to see and ears to listen," couldn't be truer, eh? 😉
Everytime you listen to Boney M, you think this is their best one, and then you hear another song from them, and then you think, no this is their best one. They are all master pieces.
Boney M sang one great song about an Old Testament story (from Psalm 19 and 137), and they sang one beautiful song from the New Testament. Incredible band.
who is still listening in Christmas 2020 Boney M , with the angelic harmonius voices will still remain in our hearts from year to year, from a generation to the next.

I remember listening to Boney M albums in my childhood. My dad would turn up the volume to max in the huge speakers we had. The whole block would hear this gem. Miss those good old times.
In Sri Lanka my father used to play this and other great hits and I used to enjoy listening to them and will never forget them ever. Brings back childhood memories.
10th Feb 2024. I have loved Bony M since my college days. In fact I enjoyed their one live show in Bangalore India. I am still enjoying it at the age of 64 yrs. Great 👍👍🎉🎉
@@shiranuic9547 the lyrics of the song are from the old testament. The Jewish people supposedly sang it after the Assyrians conquered their city and forced them to relocate outside of Israel around 800BC
In 1979, I was a child in Brazil, and I didn't understand English language, but this song makes me try to sing it. Loved it! ❤ Nowadays I can understand it and I keep loving it so much!! 😍 Wonderful song, beautiful voices and also the singers!! ❤💙💗👏👏👏👏
@beergrill4607 oh i see now. Well we all have something about a song that makes us happy.this reminds me how god government will rule and will bring peace. Daniel 2: 44..psalms 37: 9, 10,11, 29 And no more pain and death revelation 21: 3, 4 So not only does it bring back memories of when I was young? It also gives me thoughts about the future. So that's my answer. And everybody else has their own reason. I hope that answer your question.
Thank You, Jenny. I've been looking to see which Psalm this song is from but was unsuccessful, then based on your comment I looked it up and there it is. Also, I totally agree with you that the Bible always amazes me also. Thanks again and God Bless.
@@luanazoli1954: Yes, I doubt many people realize that the words come from the Bible. I'm sure once they find out about it, they'll silence these videos! .
Many people dont believe in God, they want some evidence, they want to see him. Oh believe me one day you will see him and realise how stupid you are. He is everywhere, noone can hide from him. No deeds go unnoticed and one day ppl will answer to him for their failiure to be humans and that they give in to Satan's temptations. I dont care what ppl say, but there's more than enough evidence that he exist, you just need to look for it and open your eyes when he is helping you or showing you that. Feel it and you will believe it! This is why music like this will never be forgotten, because its god's creation and he is eternal. Whoever lived in the 60's 70's and 80's were truly blessed with the golden era of humanity. I only wish that i was born during these times, to experience the magic of it. It saddens me that i was born later and im stuck with this toxic world of people who dont believe in god and dont realise, that one day every truth will come out and they will be really sorry, that they havent seen that earlier and helped change the world for the better. Because right now everyone is changing it for the worse. I hope to see you guys in a better place one day, just have some faith, dont have doubt about god and he will be always there for you.
I am at home with all my cats and my two big sweet dogs, listening to this masterpiece as i clsoe my eyes and ask for guidance and forgiveness... God, Almighty, have mercy on all human kind.
Boney M and their songs will always be played for years and years to come. Just timeless classics. The pacific island where I’m from consider this their party music so you’ll always hear Boney M play at all parties lol. Great music!

Merry Christmas ❤🎉❤ Time for all the Boney M music and the old carols. Idk but this older Christmas music always just gives me the Christmas vibes. Growing up in the 90s they rocked this kind of Christmas music all the time. Such good time to be alive
That’s the power of the Bible. Love it or hate it, there’s no denying it’s unforgettable prose. Also helps that Boney M set it to music and perform it so well

It's based on the bible.
It's about Israel being beaten by Babylon.
Psalm 137:1 KING JAMES VERSION
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. {137:2} We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. {137:3} For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. {137:4} How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land? {137:5} If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. {137:6} If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. {137:7} Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. {137:8} O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. {137:9} Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

Its the same for me. I was 8, and still remember my aunt , She was 17, singing this Song listen tò the radio.
Same! I grew up in Romania, moved to the US in 1987. I now remember my parents playing this on their 8-track, yet I had not heard this song in over 40 years. I stumbled upon it, and it hit hard within my chest!!! It all came flooding back. It is an amazing feeling...
It is a soothing song that has lasted long.well sung.
My eigth month old grand son. Once he heared it he will be going to listen. Don't torn it off, he will cry. 😊😊😊😊😊
Mantap
This song will live forever !!!
And why is the group” Boney M” not recognized as one of the greatest… Give them a Grammy legendary award please !!
It's lived a life before this... Psalm 137
[1] By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. [2] We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. [3] For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
Fully agree. Too late now unfortunately.
Just as the word of God lives forever❤.
Yes Vote..for Bonny.M..
Is this a song about Israel? I going to stop listening.

The greatest music group (Boney M) of all time.When I was 21 years old used to hear their songs frequently in office. Now i am 60 years old and still listening to it. From cassette,Cd's,Usb and now social media videos was my tools to keep listening to this evergreen songs. My sincere gratitude to this music group. For those departed soul may you rest in peace as your contribution to the music world is fully recognized and with blessings.

This song is an Immortal song. I have heard this moving song hundreds of times since I heard it in 1978. But it is always moving and spiritual. What a great song this is!!
de acuerdo
So weird people are commenting on this lately it's such a great song ....I also listened to a lot of Eddy Grant tonight as well and Boney M. 300 times on loop....
Well, the words ARE taken from the Bible. Psalm 137:1,4-5 and Psalm 19:14.

This is a great song. Loved it since I was a kid back in Kenya. Make alot of sense when you read Psalm 137. God bless you.
Decades later? This performance, this song, these musicians are so inspiring. Even the costumes look beyond their time.
Dancei muito essa música sem saber o que o senhor ja estava me preparando para o adora 😁
The performance? Only the woman in red was singing. The others had their microphones not even plugged in. The music was coming from the band and the background singers, which were no part of Boney M. This group was all fake.

@@quinnard9750 I am German and I was a kid when this band started their career in Germany. Everybody knew this in these days. Their producer Frank Farian never made it a secret.

2023 and still listening after so many years I can never get enough of this song. Boney M. masters of vocal harmonies. I was 14 at the time when they performed in Poland and I was crying listening to this band. This is how much I loved them and I still do for the rest of my life.

"How can we sing the lords song in a strange land" gives me goosebumps
What about the last verse?
@@lefteriseleftheriades7381 The last verse was likely the Words of their Mouths and the Mediations of their Hearts while sitting by the Rivers in Babylon remembering what evil the Babylonians did to their children in Zion. Read the history. A few years later… the Handwriting was on the Wall…and the prayers of the Israelites were answered.
Moral of the story: Don’t f with the Jews. It won’t go well with you.
@@willmad3121 it's clear as day that that last verse mentality was carried out through the years into today
@@lefteriseleftheriades7381 Perfectly clear from the beginning (and until TheEnd)…those that come against Israel face the Promise of The God of Abraham Issac and Jacob in Genesis 12:1-3. If lesson isn’t learned; Ezekiel 38-39 coming up. And when that isn’t enough…their Messiah returns to meet ALL the Armies of the World coming against Israel. Isaiah 12-14.
Best time get along with ..than to go against them. Arabs started 1/2 dozen wars in past 75 years…and lost every one of them. The Jews are know to cheat: they have the God of Abraham Issac and Jacob on their team. Archangel Michael as well.

A beautiful, uplifting song. The warm applause at the beginning tells you how already appreciative of the song the audience was. What I recall about the song is that in 1978/79 it was played a few times at friends’ birthday parties (as pop music ideal for nine and ten-year-olds) as well as at some social events like car boot sales. It’s just so cheery. But folk back then got the biblical references. And even today this song is an antidote to the grimness that’s so pervasive in popular entertainment today.
Not sure I would say uplifting. It is a lamentation sung by the people of Israel moving into Babylonian captivity, asking themselves how it be possible to sing praises ever again. It is very sad.

I was born in '76. I remember this song from when I was little and it was played on the radio. I'm also pretty sure that my parents had the record, too which is why I know it so well and loved it back then.
For some TOTALLY random reason it just popped in my head just now, after all this time?! Weird.
It's so odd hearing it now when I'm 46, and actually hearing the words and understanding them. Esp now I've just become a Christian 3yrs ago almost (baptised last year.) So I'm like, "Oh, that's what it's (the song,) all about."
Amazing song!! And wow their voices are so good!! 😍❤
Im from 74 love bony m!
That's a great story! Congrats on finding Jesus! I'm a bit younger, but I had the same thing happen with the song Baba Yetu from the game Civilization 4. I liked the song, but forgot about it. Then I found it again after converting, and come to find out, the lyrics are the Lord's prayer in Swahili. It gave a whole new meaning to the song and I praise God for it!
@@BigSunshine55 TY!
And yes, it's surprising (to me,) *just how many* songs are actually about God or biblical times, that I've heard and listened to time and again and it's only now I'm a Christian I recognise that at all!

Everytime you listen to Boney M, you think this is their best one, and then you hear another song from them, and then you think, no this is their best one. They are all master pieces.

Boney M sang one great song about an Old Testament story (from Psalm 19 and 137), and they sang one beautiful song from the New Testament. Incredible band.

Psalm 137 to be exact
Many people dont believe in God, they want some evidence, they want to see him. Oh believe me one day you will see him and realise how stupid you are. He is everywhere, noone can hide from him. No deeds go unnoticed and one day ppl will answer to him for their failiure to be humans and that they give in to Satan's temptations. I dont care what ppl say, but there's more than enough evidence that he exist, you just need to look for it and open your eyes when he is helping you or showing you that. Feel it and you will believe it! This is why music like this will never be forgotten, because its god's creation and he is eternal. Whoever lived in the 60's 70's and 80's were truly blessed with the golden era of humanity. I only wish that i was born during these times, to experience the magic of it. It saddens me that i was born later and im stuck with this toxic world of people who dont believe in god and dont realise, that one day every truth will come out and they will be really sorry, that they havent seen that earlier and helped change the world for the better. Because right now everyone is changing it for the worse. I hope to see you guys in a better place one day, just have some faith, dont have doubt about god and he will be always there for you.
this dude is one strange man but his songs live rent free in my head.
It wasn´t his voice, plus he had no choreography.
I think he has to go to the bath room really really bad, but has to wait for the show to close.

By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)
There we sat down (you got to sing a song)
Yeah we wept, (sing a song of love)
When we remember Zion (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
By the rivers of Babylon (Rough bits of Babylon)
There we sat down (you hear the people cry)
Yeah we wept, (they need their God)
When we remember Zion (ooh, have the power)
