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 twenty of them anyway |
| What is twenty 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 defeatist 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 |
| Workers: |
| Peron! |
| Peron! |
| Peron! |
| Peron! |
| Peron! |
| Che: |
| 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 workers' regime |
| He lives for your problems, he shares your ideals and your dream |
| He supports you, for he loves you |
| Understands you, is one of you |
| If not, how could he love me? |
| Che & Workers: |
| A new Argentina, the workers' 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 Che: |
| A new Argentina, a new age about to begin |
| A new Argentina, we face the world together |
| And no dissent within |
| Peron: |
| It’s annoying that we have to fight elections for our cause |
| The inconvenience, having to get a majority |
| If normal methods of persuasion fail to win us applause |
| There are other ways of establishing authority |
| Eva: |
| Peron has resigned from the army and this we avow |
| The descamisados are those he is marching with now |
| He supports you, for he loves you |
| Understands you, is one of you |
| If not, how could he love me? |
| All: |
| A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied |
| A new Argentina, the voice of the people |
| Cannot be, and will not be, and must not be denied. |
