Take me in my dreams recurring
Cheerful as a childhood dance
Into one more taste of freedom
One more longing backward glanceIn the sway of somber music
I shall never, never understand
Let me slip into the sweeter
Chorus of that other landThe gods love Nubia, the beautiful, the golden
The radiant, the fertile, the gentle and the blessed
The pain of Nubia is only of the moment
The desolate, the suffering, the plundered, the oppressedThe gods love Nubia, the glorious creation
The songs roll sweetly across the harvest plain
The tears of Nubia, a passing aberration
They wash into the river and are never cried again
Enjoy the lyrics !!!
