The Gods Love Nubia
(专辑: Aida (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 2000)
[Aida:] Take me in my dreams recurring Cheerful as a
childhood dance Into one more taste of freedom One more longing backward glance In the
sway of somber music I
shall never, never understand Let me slip into the
sweeter Chorus of that other land The
gods love Nubia The
beautiful, the
golden The
radiant, the
fertile The
gentle and the
blessed The
pain of Nubia Is only for the
moment The
desolate the
suffering The
plundered, the
oppressed [Nehebka:] The
gods love Nubia Their glorious creation Its songs roll sweetly Across the
harvest plain [Aida, Nehebka:] The
tears of Nubia A
passing aberration They wash into the
river And are never cried again [Nehebka, Aida, Mereb, Nubian Women:] The
gods love Nubia We have to keep believing The
scattered and divided We are still its heart The
fall of Nubia Ephemeral and fleeting The
spirit always burning Though the
flesh is torn apart [All:] Take me in my dreams recurring Cheerful as a
childhood dance Into one more taste of freedom One more longing backward glance The
gods love Nubia The
beautiful, the
golden The
radiant, the
fertile The
gentle and the
blessed The
pain of Nubia Is only for the
moment The
desolate the
suffering The
plundered, the
oppressed The
gods love Nubia We have to keep believing Though scattered and divided We are still it's heart The
fall of Nubia Ephemeral and fleeting The
spirit always burning Though the
flesh is torn apart My spirit will keep on burning Though the
flesh is torn [Aida:] Apart [All:] Take me in my dreams recurring One more longing backward glance
