Чарльз Х. Гиффен - Psalm 137 for Lent 4-B - ноты, текст песни (слова)

Adhaéreat lingua mea fáucibus meis, si non memínero tui! 
  R. Let my tongue be silenced, if I ever forget you!
 
 By the streams of Babylon
 we sat and wept
 when we remembered Zion.
 On the aspens of that land
 we hung up our harps.
 
 R. Let my tongue be silenced, if I ever forget you!
 
 For there our captors asked of us
 the lyrics of our songs,
 And our despoilers urged us to be joyous:
 "Sing for us the songs of Zion!"
 
 R. Let my tongue be silenced, if I ever forget you!
 
 How could we sing a song of the LORD
 in a foreign land?
 If I forget you, Jerusalem,
 may my right hand be forgotten!
 
 R. Let my tongue be silenced, if I ever forget you!
 
 May my tongue cleave to my palate
 if I remember you not,
 If I place not Jerusalem
 ahead of my joy.
 
 R. Let my tongue be silenced, if I ever forget you!
