"I want nothing in the world But myself to protect me And I won't lie down, roll over, and die" and then I pull myself up by my bootstraps The pantheon above will hopefully forgive me for my inordinate self-reliance

Whoever wrote the lyrics was either high or drunk or both, because a normal 9-to-5 peons don't think like this... I love it <3

Sting version was better.

Thanks Allah, he was and still is and will remain in heavens with us.

I pulled a rusty fish hook out of the heel of my foot because I was afraid of my mom when I was 4, just saying

I was Aida in my high school play!! Loved it

I remember seeing this show at 19 on broadway. I knew nothing about it at the time but ull never forget the way this song landed for me back then ❤.

Great musical..but who cares about your school productions?

Love this song!

Who cares about your schools?

Love this song !

And I love the costumes onstage!

I love Zoser , Disney villains always got the best songs

I saw this in New York in 2004 with Vanessa Williams... It was.. Amazing

RaceChasers brought me here.

Just like most of the other people here, Schaffrillas sent me. And I really want to thank him, as this song hits close to home for me, and I love stuff that hits close to home.

Okay this slaps have no idea what the musical is about but good song

The Past Is Another Land / Tekst You know nothing about me, and care even less. How could you understand our emptiness? You plundered our wisdom, our knowledge, our wealth. In bleeding us dry, you long for our spirit. But that you will never posess. The past is now another land, far beyond my reach. Invaded by insidious foreign bodies, foriegn speech but the timeless joys of childhood lie broken on the beach. The present is an empty space, between the good and bad. A moment leading nowhere, too pointless to be sad, but time enough to lay to waste, every certainty I had. The future is a barren world from which I can't return. Both thoughtless and material, it's wretched spoils mock my concern. Shining like an evil sun, as my childhood treasures burn. Shining like an evil sun, as my childhood treasures burn.

Glorious !

I dod dance and this is my solo song!!!!😁😁😆

I saw this about a month ago. This song made me cry.

If only Ofra Haza got a chance to play this role.

I’m using this as an audition song for Chicago 0:40

1:57 hits hard

Yes, a step too far was made. And I am certain about my choice. I was always clear about that. So, you can not manipulate me into doing something that is not me.

It's knowing what they want of me that scares me It's knowing, having followed, I must lead It's knowing that each person there compares me To those in my past whom I now succeed But how can whatever I do for them now be enough? Be enough Aida! Aida! All we ask of you Is a lifetime of service, wisdom, courage To ask more would be selfish, but nothing less will do Aida! Aida! Your robe should be golden, your robe should be perfect Instead of this ragged concoction of thread But may you be moved by its desperate beauty To give us new life, for we'd rather be dead Then live in the squalor and shame of the slave To the dance! To the dance! Aida! Aida! All we ask of you All we ask is a lifetime of service, wisdom, courage To ask more would be selfish, but nothing less will do Aida! Aida! Aida! Aida! Aida! Aida! Aida! Aida! I know expectations are wild and almost Beyond my fulfillment, but they won't hear A word of a doubt or see signs of a weakness My nigh-on-impossible duty is clear And if I can rekindle our ancestors' dreams, it's enough It's enough, it's enough Aida! Aida! Aida! Aida! Aida! Aida! It's enough! Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Traducir al español

You know that I can connect dots. Also, that I am empathetic as hell.

Would recommend listening to the whole thing.

Currently the stage manager on Aida- love this song sm omg Zozer is the worst but his MUSIC is to goodd

Soooo beautiful!!

OMG !!! i saw this play in NYC with Heather singing

Saw this at the Buell Theater here in Denver. I loved it so much. I wish they made a DVD of it! Beautiful soundtrack!!!

3:26 don’t mind me just putting this here for our dance number

1:06

I had never taken the time to listen to Aida all the way through, so now I am.

The first half is just a little too repetitive.

This is going to be my solo song this year!!!😄

1:46 (just a mark for me so I can listen to my auditon cut)

3:11

Oh...this musical is such a joy. When my family and I went to go see it, the understudy for the Father(whose name I've forgotten) was on stage, and while he didn't look like Radames' father, he look positively EVIL...and it was great.

I'm dancing too this song for competition dance this year lol! It so far it is really fun!!!

Excelente! Lo he compartido. No se el idioma Inglés...pero me encantó!!! Gracias por la música. Sigo escuchando y disfrutando de la divinidad.

YESS a step too far is what this is! This Play is Racially insensitive and lacks cultural intelligence. I stand with this statement. Again. Please reconsider doing things like this in the future. You cannot cosplay African culture like this. african people are very upset at this. This is seriously Racially Insensitive. Makes Koreans look silly and also Racist. Have a GOood Day
