Radames:
To sail away to half discovered places
To see the secrets so few eyes have seen
To see moments of enchantment on our faces
The moments when we smile and those in between
Aida:
If I could leave this place then I'd be sailing
To corners of my land where there would be
Sweet southern winds of liberty prevailing
The beauty so majestic and so free
Radames:
There'd be no ties of time and space to bind me
Aida:
And no horizon I could not pursue
Radames:
I'd leave the world's misfortunes far behind me
Aida:
I'd put my faith and trusting in something new
Radames and Aida:
But why should I tell you this
Aida :
A stranger I just met
Radames:
A woman whom I hardly know at all and should forget
Radames and Aida:
A journey we can only dream of
Enchantment passing through
And how is it I say these things
So easily to you
Radames:
But why did I tell her this?
A stranger I've just met
A woman who I hardly know at all and will forget
Anonymous and gone tomorrow
Enchantment passing through
And all I've done is tell her things
she already knew
She knew ...She knew....
