| Babylon, you are the best city of all time,
|
| Hanging gardens bloomed above you.
|
| In the mornings, the talk of all times was noisy in the markets,
|
| And no one knew either grief or enmity.
|
| We have become a miracle of miracles,
|
| We build a tower to heaven.
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| How powerful you are, how strong you are.
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| How powerful you are, how strong you are.
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| The astrologer, at our request, made a calculation for us.
|
| We have thrown all our affairs away.
|
| And since then, great construction has been going on with us,
|
| We build a tower to the sky day and night.
|
| Brick by brick for the tower
|
| We dismantled our city.
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| How powerful you are, how strong you are.
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| How powerful you are, how strong you are.
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| Why did God interfere with us,
|
| All the languages of the tribes mixed.
|
| Oh Babylon.
|
| And our tower, that's the trouble,
|
| We will never finish building.
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| You were powerful, you were strong.
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| You were powerful, you were strong.
|
| Oh Babylon, oh Babylon
|
| Oh Babylon, you were mighty
|
| Oh Babylon, you were strong.
|
| Oh Babylon, you were mighty
|
| You were strong, oh Babylon. |
