Aida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Simple really, isn't it? A word or two and then
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
You think of me or speak of me and wonder what befell
That someone you once loved so long ago so well
Radames
You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
Every moment of my life from now until I die
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
Is it written in the stars?
Are we paying for some crime?
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time?
Or some God's experiment
In which we have no say?
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day?
Aida
Marry the Princess, Radames. You can help my people. This could be our chance to do something important. Don't you see?
Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
No escape, no change of heart, nor anyplace to hide
Radames
Oh, you are all I ever want, but this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
Radames & Aida
What it is to be in love and have that love returned
Aida
Is it written in the stars?
Are we paying for some crime?
Is that all that we are good for
Just some stretch of mortal time?
Aida & Radames
Or some God's experiment
In which we have no say?
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day?
The song "Written in the Stars" from the musical Aida is a haunting duet between the two main characters, Aida and Radames. The song reflects the impossibility of their love and the painful prospect of being torn apart forever. Aida begins the song expressing the inevitability of their separation and the haunting memory that will linger on. Radames, on the other hand, conveys his powerful love and how he will always think of her, yet will never understand how their perfect love could have failed.
The bridge between their verses poses a series of questions, wondering if their fate is predetermined or if they are simply pawns in some divine experiment. The lyric "just a stretch of mortal time" conveys the fleeting nature of their love and how it cannot last beyond their immediate circumstances. The chorus asks if they are paying for some crime or if they are being given a taste of paradise only to have it abruptly taken away.
The song serves as a poignant reminder of the cruel nature of fate and how love can be both fleeting and powerful. It expresses both pain and longing while questioning the larger forces at play.

I am here to tell you we can never meet again
I must inform you that our paths will never cross again
Simple really, isn't it? A word or two and then
It seems so uncomplicated, doesn't it? Just a few words and it's over
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
Years will pass, and we will remain ignorant of each other's whereabouts, circumstances, reasons, and timing
You think of me or speak of me and wonder what befell
You may ponder my fate or mention me in conversation and wonder what came of me
That someone you once loved so long ago so well
That person whom you loved so deeply in the distant past
Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by
Do not doubt that I will always have feelings for you as life goes on
You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
You need not question me about it, and I need not answer you
Every moment of my life from now until I die
Throughout my existence, until the day I pass away
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
I will frequently think about or dream of you and be unable to make sense of our situation
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
How an ideal romance can be ruined so quickly
Is it written in the stars?
Is our destiny predetermined?
Are we paying for some crime?
Are we suffering as punishment for some wrongdoing?
Is that all that we are good for
Is this the extent of our worth?
Just a stretch of mortal time?
Merely a finite length of human existence?
Or some God's experiment
Or are we part of a divine experiment?
In which we have no say?
One in which we have no control or voice?
In which we're given paradise
In which we're granted an ideal existence
But only for a day?
But for an all too brief period of time?
Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
Nothing can be changed or resolved, there are no choices to make
No escape, no change of heart, nor anyplace to hide
There is no exit, no change of feelings, and nowhere to take cover
Oh, you are all I ever want, but this I am denied
You are everything I desire, but I am forbidden to have you
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
Sometimes in my most despairing moments, I regret discovering
What it is to be in love and have that love returned
What it feels like to be in love and have that affection reciprocated

Why is Aida so underrated when a masterpiece love story and music like this exists!
@Sasbatabata
Adam, never stop singing. Ever. I don't care if you die. Just sing yourself to life again. That voice. -melts-
@manuelorozco7760
I loved his performance as Roger in the big screen version of Rent
@manuelorozco7760
I never seen Aida before but I can easily recognize Heather Headley's voice anywhere! Aida is one musical I want to see one day no matter who plays the title role.
@Mrnickstr89
There’s a bootleg of the OG cast here on YouTube. Not gonna link to it cause I don’t want it to get taken down. It’s worth watching. You think Headley is awesome as a singer ..... ooooo boy just wait till you see her performance.
@manuelorozco7760
Nick Piacente I’ll take your word
@jaywest3734
@Nick Piacente Deborah Cox is good too.
@Yumi_Jay
In June of 2013 I got the fortunate chance of being a part of this musical with a wonderful cast of crew at my community theatre. The leads who were 18 and 19 at the time was so wonderful and the girl playing Aida has a beautiful voice. She totally rock Aida's songs.
