Aida movie - The Dance of the Robe lyrics

rate me

<br>

Aida: <br>

It's knowing what they want of me that scares me <br>

It's knowing having followed that I must lead <br>

It's knowing that each person there compares me <br>

To those in my past whom I now succeed <br>

But how can whatever I do for them now <br>

Be enough <br>

Be enough <br>

<br>

Nubians: <br>

Aida! Aida! <br>

All we ask of you <br>

Is a lifetime of service, wisdom, courage <br>

To ask more would be selfish <br>

But nothing less will do <br>

Aida! Aida! <br>

<br>

Nehebka: <br>

You robe should be golden, your robe should be perfect <br>

Instead of this ragged concoction of thread <br>

But may you be moved by its desperate beauty <br>

To give us new life for we'd rather be dead <br>

Then live in the squalor and shame of the slave <br>

To the dance! <br>

To the dance! <br>

<br>

Nubians: <br>

Aida! Aida! <br>

All we ask of you <br>

<br>

All we ask is a lifetime of <br>

Service, wisdom, courage <br>

To ask more would be selfish <br>

But nothing less will do <br>

Aida! Aida! <br>

<br>

Nubians: <br>

Aida! Aida! <br>

Aida! Aida! Aida! <br>

<br>

Aida: <br>

I know expectations are wild and almost <br>

Beyond my fulfillment but they won't hear <br>

A word of a doubt or see signs of weakness <br>

My nigh on impossible duty is clear <br>

If I can rekindle my ancestors' dreams <br>

It's enough <br>

It's enough <br>

<br>

Aida: It's enough Nubians: Aida! <br>

<br>

Nubians: <br>

Aida! Aida! <br>

Aida! Aida! Aida! <br>

<br>

Aida: It's enough Nubians: Ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah<br>

<br>
