Wen dey come one place fo go across da Jordan Riva, da place dey call Goren Ha-Atad, dey cry plenny an real loud fo Israel. Joseph make funeral seven day fo his mahke faddah.
Wen I hear dat, I come real sad inside. Den I rip my clotheses an my robe fo show I feel bad. I pull hair outa my head an my beard. I jus sit dea an no can figga an no can do notting.
Go sit down on top da dirt, You Babylon town peopo! You Babylon guys was jalike One beautiful young princess. But now, you gotta go sit down on top da groun, Cuz now you no mo throne an no mo king. Az why nobody goin tink you make nice to peopo An you no need work.
Da older leadas fo Jerusalem sit on top da groun, an no talk. Dey sprinkle dirt on top dea heads. An dey wear burmbag clotheses fo show dey stay sad. Da young wahines from Jerusalem lay on da groun an put dea face in da dirt, Fo show dey stay sad inside.
I go by da Israel peopo dat get kick out from dea land an gotta stay ova hea, an stay Tel Aviv nea da Kebar Canal. I go wea dey live an I sit down wit dem. I stay dea seven days. An I come all shook up an I no can tell notting.
