Charity Concert / I'd Be Surprisingly Good For You |
| Magaldi |
| On this night… |
| Che |
| Luna Park Stadium, Buenos Aires, January 22, 1944. |
| Magaldi |
| On this night… |
| Che |
| A concert in aid of the victims of an earthquake that devastated the town of San Juan, Argentina. |
| Magaldi |
| On this night of a thousand stars, |
| let me take you to heaven’s door |
| where the music of love’s guitars |
| plays forevermore! |
| Che |
| Ladies and Gentlemen, Agustin Magaldi! |
| Any minute now, the man of the hour!!! |
| Peron |
| Tonight I’m proud to be the peoples' spokesman. |
| You’ve given help to those who’ve lost their homes, |
| but more than that, conclusively shown |
| that the people should run their affairs on their own! |
| Make sure your leaders understand the people! |
| Crowd |
| (Chanting) |
| Peron! |
| Peron! |
| Peron! |
| Peron! |
| Peron! |
| Peron! |

| Colonol Peron??? |

| Both |
| I’ve heard so much about you. |
| I’m amazed for I’m only a soldier/an actress |
| One of the thousands (nothing to shout about) |
| Defending the country he loves (only a girl on the boards) |
| Eva |
| But when you act, the things you do affect us all. |
| Peron |
| But when you act, you take us away from the squalor of the real world. |
| Are you here on your own? |
| Eva |
| Yes. |
| Oh yes. |
| Peron |
| So am I. What a fortunate coincidence. |
| Maybe you’re my reward |
| for my efforts here tonight. |
| Eva |
| It seems crazy but you must believe |
| there’s nothing calculated, nothing planned. |
| Please forgive me if I seem naive. |
| I would never want to force your hand |
| But please understand |
| I’d be good for you. |
| I don’t always rush in like this |
| twenty seconds after saying hello |
| Telling strangers I’m too good to miss. |
| If I’m wrong I hope you’ll tell me so, |
| But you really should know |
| I’d be good for you — |
| I’d be surprisingly good for you. |
| I won’t go on if I’m boring you |
| But do you understand my point of view? |
| Do you like what you hear, what you see, |
| and would you be good for me too? |
| I’m not talking of a hurried night, |
| a frantic tumble, then a shy goodbye, |
| creeping home before it gets too light. |
| That’s not the reason that I caught your eye |
| Which has to imply |
| I’d be good for you — |
| I’d be surprisingly good for you. |
| Peron |
| Please go on; |
| You enthrall me. |
| I can understand you perfectly, |
| and I like what I hear, what I see, |
| and knowing me, |
| I would be good for you too. |
| Eva |
| I’m not talking of a hurried night, |
| a frantic tumble, then a shy goodbye, |
| creeping home before it gets too light. |
| That’s not the reason that I caught your eye |
| Which has to imply |
| I’d be good for you — |
| I’d be surprisingly good for you. |
| Both |
| There is no one, no one at all, |
| never has been and never will be a lover, |
| male or female, |
| who hasn’t an eye on, |
| in fact they rely on, |
| tricks they can try on their partner. |
| They’re hoping their lover |
| will help them or keep them, |
| support them, promote them, |
| don’t blame them: you’re the same. |
