Перевод песни

Песня: 22. Elaborate Lives
[Radames:]
We all lead such elaborate lives
Wild ambitions in our sights
How an affair of the heart survives
Days apart and hurried nights
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I don't want to live like that
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I don't want to love like that
I just want our time to be
Slower and gentler, wiser, free

We all live in extravagant times
Playing games we can't all win
Unintended emotional crimes
Take some out, take others in

I'm so tired of all were going through
I don't want to live like that
I'm so tired of all were going through
I don't want to love like that
I just want to be with you
Now and forever, peaceful, true
This may not be the moment
To tell you face to face
But I could wait forever
For the perfect time and place

[Aida and Radames together:]
We all lead such elaborate lives
We don't know whose words are true
Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives
Hard to know who's loving who

[Aida:]
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to live like that

[Radames:]
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to love like that
I just want to touch your heart
May this confession

[Radames and Aida together:]
Be the start

(They kiss. The lights fade out. When the lights come up they are in each other's arms.)

[Radames:]
Are you cold?

[Aida:]
You could have at least kept a blanket.

[Radames:]
No. I could not. Man enters this world naked, without possessions. I want to be a new man for you, Aida. Cleansed of my past sins.

(Drums sound from offstage.)

[Aida:]
What is it?

[Radames:]
My armies have returned. Pharaoh will expect a victory celebration. Go back to the palace. You'll be safe there.
(He gets up and puts his shirt back on. He begins to walk away and then turns back.)
Wait, take my amulet. If anyone stops you, show them this and they'll let you pass.
(He starts to leave again.)

[Aida:]
I love you.

[Radames:]
I heard that. Say it again. I command you. I command...

(SOLDIER enters.)

[Soldier:]
Captain!

(AIDA turns her face away from the SOLDIER.)

[Radames:]
I heard the drums.

[Soldier:]
But we have captured the Nubian King!

[Radames:]
The king? You have taken him alive? Find out which men are responsible for this. I'll see they receive the highest honors. Tell the others I'm on my way.

[Soldier:]
Yes, Captain.

[Radames:]
(He sees AIDA is upset by the news.)
Aida, our countries are at war. I can't change that.

[Aida:]
But he's my... He's my king.

(AIDA begins to cry as RADAMES exits.)

Перевод песни:
22. Запутанные жизни

[Радамес:]
У нас такие запутанные жизни,
Вокруг такие дикие амбиции.
Как влюбленным сердцам пережить
Дни в разлуке и бессонные ночи?
Всё это кажется мне невероятным,
Я не хочу такой жизни,
Всё это кажется мне невероятным,..... [открыть перевод]
