[00:00.417]Take me in my dreams recurring
[00:10.057]Cheerful as a childhood dance
[00:19.487]Into one more taste of freedom
[00:28.499]One more longing backward glance
[00:36.832]In the sway of somber music
[00:44.408]I shall never, never understand
[00:52.192]Let me slip into the sweeter
[00:59.898]Chorus of that other land
[01:08.284]The gods love Nubia
[01:12.150]The beautiful, the golden
[01:15.859]The radiant, the fertile
[01:19.542]The gentle and the blessed
[01:23.252]The pain of Nubia
[01:26.700]Is only of the moment
[01:30.357]The desolate the suffering
[01:33.910]The plundered, the oppressed
[01:37.619]The gods love Nubia
[01:40.884]Their glorious creation
[01:44.437]The songs roll sweetly
[01:48.016]Across the harvest plain
[01:51.333]The tears of Nubia
[01:54.782]A passing aberration
[01:58.334]They wash into the river
[02:01.626]And are never cried again
[02:05.361]The gods love Nubia
[02:08.914]We have to keep believing
[02:12.336]The scattered and divided
[02:15.653]We are still its heart
[02:19.467]The fall of Nubia
[02:22.785]Ephemeral and fleeting
[02:26.364]The spirit always burning
[02:29.315]Though the flesh is torn apart
[02:34.540]Take me in my dreams recurring
[02:41.358]Cheerful as a childhood dance
[02:48.071]Into one more taste of freedom
[02:54.785]One more longing backward glance
[03:02.230]The gods love Nubia
[03:05.443]The beautiful, the golden
[03:08.891]The radiant, the fertile
[03:12.600]The gentle and the blessed
[03:16.101]The pain of Nubia
[03:19.288]Is only for the moment
[03:22.945]The desolate the suffering
[03:26.602]The plundered, the oppressed
[03:29.789]The gods love Nubia
[03:33.289]We have to keep believing
[03:37.025]Though scattered and divided
[03:40.604]We are still it's heart
[03:43.973]The fall of Nubia
[03:47.552]Ephemeral and fleeting
[03:50.896]The spirit always burning
[03:53.665]Though the flesh is torn apart
[03:57.635]My spirit will keep on burning
[04:01.057]Though the flesh is torn -
[04:08.502]- Apart
[04:12.447]Take me in my dreams recurring
[04:19.134]One more longing backward glance
