A New Argentina |
Peron: Dice are rolling the knives are out |
Would be presidents are all around |
I don’t say they mean harm but they’d each give an arm |
To see us six feet underground |
Eva: It doesn’t matter what those morons say |
Our nation’s leaders are a feeble crew |
There’s only 20 of them anyway |
What is 20 next to millions who are looking to you |
All you have to do is sit and wait |
Keeping out of everybody’s way |
We’ll-you'll be handed power on a plate |
When the ones who matter have their say |
And with chaos installed |
You can reluctantly agree to be called |
Peron: There again we could be foolish not to quit while we’re ahead |
For distance lends enchantment and that is why |
All exiles are distinguished more important they’re not dead |
I could find job satisfaction in Paraguay |
Eva: This is crazy defeatest talk |
Why commit political suicide |
There’s no risk there’s no call for any action at all |
When you have unions on your side |
People of Argentina: A new Argentina the chains of the masses untied |
A new Argentina the voice of the people cannot be denied |
Eva: There is only one man who can lead any worker’s regime |
He lives for your problems he shares your ideals and your dream |
He supports you for he loves you understands you in one of you |
If not how could he love me |
People of Argentina: A new Argentina the worker’s battle song |
A new Argentina the voice of the people rings out loud and long |
Eva: Now I am a worker I’ve suffered the way that you do |
I’ve been unemployed and I’ve starved and I’ve hated it too |
But I found my salvation in Peron may the nation |
Let him save them as he saved me |
People of Argentina: A new Argentina a new age about to begin |
A new Argentina we face the world together no dissent within |
Peron: There again we could be foolish not to quit while we’re ahead |
I can see us many miles away inactive |
Sipping cocktails on a terrace taking breakfast in bed |
Sleeping easy doing nothing it’s attractive |
Eva: Don’t think I don’t think like you |
I often get thos nightmares too |
They always take some swallowing |
