How I Know You

(专辑： Aida (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 2000)

[Mereb:]
I grew up in your hometown, at least began to grow
I hadn't got to my first shave before the body blow
Egyptians in the courtyard, my family in chains
You witnessed our abduction, which possibly explains
How I know you
How I know you

Before that fateful morning, my family enjoyed
A privileged existence, for my father was employed
As advisor to the king, no less, which surely rings a bell
For as you are his daughter, you probably can tell
How I know you
Yes, I know you

[Aida:]
You know too much, and what you say is better left unknown
And now I'm just a slave like you, our lives our not our own

[Mereb:]
I never have abandoned, and nor I think could you
That spark of hope for freedom no terror can subdue

[Aida:]
My only hope is silence, you've never seen my face

[Mereb:]
No, you remain a princess in any time or place

[Aida:]
You don't know me

[Mereb:]
Yes, I know you

[Aida:]
You don't know me

[Mereb:]
How I know you
How I know you
