Ета песня написана в Библии псалом 137:стих 1

@Lyagooha777

Я на них впервые открыла свой путь к музыке. Я типичный подросток, но такое ощущение, что не 2024 года, а 1960. Ношу всякую хиповую одежду, скупаю барахолки и занимаюсь прочей ересью. Все началось с того, что я случайно нашла кассету с каким-то "Bony M", забытую за комодом терассы прошлых владельцев участка. Включила и не могла оторваться. Там же я нашла целую кассетницу с записями тех же владельцев, там был Демис Руссос, Абба, Бони М, Модерн Токинг, Квин, Дипиш Мод... Переслушала все. Тогда я сама решила их записывать. И однажды, на компьютере, с которого записывала на кассеты песни с YouTube, в рекомендациях мне попались неизвестные The Beatles. На кассетах их не было. Послушала... Тогда уже Boney M я забросила, ведь заслушала до дыр все их песни. Для меня открывается новый путь - The Beatles. Загадочная, тогда неизвестная для меня группа. Я не могла оторваться от них. Я все никак не могла выучить имена английских, как тогда оказалось, незнакомцев, но в одного из них я влюбилась с первого взгляда - я не знала его имени, интернет не ловил. Но все же я спросила у отца, что это за участник, он удивился, что я слушаю такое старье, и сказал, что это Пол Маккартни. Я мгновенно забыла его имя, но кусок все же остался. Я его так любила, и начала называть его просто "Макар". Эта битломания со мной уже 2 года. Кстати, я хиппи с 47 вещами битлз. Вот так я и нашла для себя свой вкус, нашла себя.

This is a very easy question to answer. The black guy dancing around is not singing anything, the song was written by a german white guy who is doing the singing, the guy you see jumping around is lip syncing. In addition, the good looking gal the camera is focusing on is also lip syncing, she is in there as window dressing. The person who created this whole thing should get an award.

The song’s roots date back to biblical times, specifically of Psalm 137. The psalm talks about the Babylonian exile where the Israelites were forced to leave their homeland and journey to Babylon.
The song’s main message is that despite the hardships we face in life, we should never lose sight of our goals or our dreams. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can find strength and hope to carry on.

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.
