Aida - How I Know You

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 your 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
