Песня: 27. The Prison
(The lights change and the set transforms to a prison cell. AIDA and MEREB are with a GUARD. MEREB glances around and hands the GUARD a sack of gold.)

[Mereb:]
A word with the prisoner.

[Guard:]
Alright, Mereb. But be quick about it.

(GUARD exits. AIDA and MEREB enter the cell.)

[Aida:]
Father?

[Amonasro:]
Aida? I knew you would survive. That I trained my daughter well. At least, I would not allow myself to believe anything else.

[Aida:]
Have they mistreated you?

[Amonasro:]
No, I believe they are saving that part for my execution... Three days from now.

[Aida:]
It won't come to that. We'll get you out of here.

[Mereb:]
In two days, the daughter of the Pharaoh will wed. Most of the guards will be needed to control the crowds.

[Amonasro:]
And who is this young Minister of War?

[Aida:]
This is Mereb. You remember... Henu's boy.

[Amonasro:]
Henu. Your father was a great warrior. He had hopes you would grow up to be a scholar.

[Mereb:]
Sire. The chief jailor will attend Amneris' wedding. They've assigned a lowly guard to take his place - a man I know.

[Amonasro:]
You are suggesting you may be able to bribe this guard?

[Mereb:]
Let's just say, we've done business in the past.

[Aida:]
That would take a lot of gold.

[Mereb:]
I have it. For years I've been stealing from the palace. I thought maybe, someday, I could use it to get back to Nubia. But if I can send my King home...

[Amonasro:]
We will all be going home soon, Mereb. Now, how are the docks guarded?

[Mereb:]
By the Captain's soldiers.

[Amonasro:]
So the odds are slim. Can you use a sword, boy?

[Mereb:]
Me? Actually I'm better at providing encouragement from the sidelines.

[Aida:]
A fight won't be necessary. They'll let us through.

(AIDA takes out the amulet RADAMES gave her. MEREB gasps.)

[Mereb:]
Captain Radames gave you that?

[Amonasro:]
Who is this Captain? An Egyptian?

[Aida:]
Yes, but he's not like the others, father.

[Amonasro:]
He leads Pharaoh's army, and he did not lay waste to our country like the others?

[Aida:]
He regrets his past.

[Amonasro:]
Aida! Do not shame yourself and me with such witless sentiment. Do not tell me this Egyptian grieves for the Nubian men executed, the women ravaged, and the children taken into slavery. Any soft look you have given this Captain, any soft word, betrays the innocents who suffered at his hands and at the hands of every soldier he commands. You will cut this man from your heart.

[Aida:]
Yes, Father.

[Amonasro:]
I would not have thought it possible that these Egyptians could give me one more reason to hate them.

Перевод песни:
27. В тюрьме

(Освещение меняется с превращением декораций в тюремную камеру. АИДА и МЕРЕБ стоят перед СТРАЖЕЙ. МЕРЕБ оглядывается и сует СТРАЖНИКАМ мешочек с золотом.)

[Мереб:]
На одно слово с заключенным.

[Стража:]
Ладно, Мереб. Только давай быстрее.
