Testi Soundtracks :: A

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 opressed



Nehebka:

The gods love Nubia, their glorious creation

Its songs roll sweetly across the harvest plain



Nehebka & Aida:

The tears of Nubia, a passing aberration

They wash into the river and are never cried again



Nehebka, Aida, Mereb, and Nubian Woman:

The gods love Nubia, we have to keep believing

The scattered and divided, we are still it's heart



Aida:

The fall of Nubia, ephemeral and fleeting

The spirit always burning though the flesh is torn apart.



All:

The fall of Nubia

Ephemeral and fleeting

The spirit always burning

Though the flesh is torn apart



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 opressed



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

The spirit always burning though the flesh is torn apart



Aida:

Apart



All:

Take me in my dreams recurring

One more longing backward glance
