The song is about longing for a river in Judea that brings hope, peace, and comfort. It describes the river's gentle flow and the singer's desire to be near the river again.

The song describes a river that flows freely and sings beautifully, especially on the Sabbath. It fills the singer with hope, peace, and calm.

The song conveys feelings of weariness, being downhearted, and longing. But it also expresses how the memory of the river's song fills the singer with hope, peace, and a willingness to go on.
