La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
Daughters of Zion, weep no more
Pack your bags, we’re goin’ home
Shake off your captivity
Today is the day we shall be free
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Babylon
(Bye, bye, bye, bye)
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Babylon
Learn the old, forgotten songs
Sing the ones you know by heart
Take down your harp from the willow tree
Reclaim the long-lost melody
And sing
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Babylon
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Babylon
Bye, bye, bye, bye
(Laugh and dance like kings and queens)
Bye, bye, bye, bye
(Our children’s children shall be free)
Bye, bye, bye, bye
(Our children’s children shall be free)
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Babylon
