Please don't make me sing this song

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.
There on the poplars, we hung our harps,
For there our captors asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"

How can we sing the songs of the Lord
while in a foreign land?
