Save Darfur - The Gods Love Nubia from Aida

Back


This video is to raise awareness for the genocide in Darfur. The song is "The Gods Love Nubia" from the musical Aida. Nubia, in ancient times where Aida is set, was the present-day area of Northern Sudan, smack-dab in the middle of the conflict. The lyrics are: 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 The gods love Nubia, their glorious creation Its songs roll sweetly across the harvest plain The tears of Nubia, a passing aberration They wash into the river and are never cried again The gods love Nubia, we have to keep believing The 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 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 Take me in my dreams recurring One more longing backward glance This is my first video - any comments or constructive criticism would be appreciated.
