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
