🎵 Lyrics & Translation:

[Verse 1] 🇮🇱 עַל נַהֲרוֹת בָּבֶל, שָׁם יָשַׁבְנוּ גַּם בָּכִינוּ, בְּזָכְרֵנוּ אֶת צִיּוֹן 🇺🇸 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 🇪🇸 Junto a los ríos de Babilonia, allí nos sentábamos, y aun llorábamos, acordándonos de Sion.

🇮🇱 עַל עֲרָבִים בְּתוֹכָהּ, תָּלִינוּ כִּנֹּרוֹתֵינוּ 🇺🇸 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 🇪🇸 Sobre los sauces en medio de ella colgamos nuestras arpas.

[Verse 2] 🇮🇱 כִּי שָׁם שְׁאֵלוּנוּ שׁוֹבֵינוּ דִּבְרֵי שִׁיר... 🇺🇸 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song... 🇪🇸 Y los que nos habían llevado cautivos nos pedían que cantásemos...

[Chorus] 🇮🇱 אִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ יְרוּשָׁלַיִם, תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי 🇺🇸 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. 🇪🇸 Si me olvidare de ti, oh Jerusalén, pierda mi diestra su destreza.
