The Gods Love Nubia Songtext / Lyric

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
Choru sof 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 and 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 is always burning
Though the flesh is torn apart
The spirit will keep on burning
Though the flesh is torn apart

Aida:
Apart

All:
Take me in my dreams recurring
One more longing backward glance
