| A concert in aid of the victims of an earthquake that devastated the town of San Juan, Argentina.

|
| On this night of a thousand stars,
|
| let me take you to heaven’s door
|
| where the music of love’s guitars
|
| plays forevermore!
|

|
| 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!

|
| 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.

|
| 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. |
