(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:) 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?
(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
(All:) A new Argentina, a new age about to begin A new
Argentina, we face the world together And 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
those nightmares too They always take some swallowing Sometimes it's very
difficult to keep momentum If it's you that you are following Don't close
doors, keep an escape clause Because we might lose the Big Apple
But
would I have done what I did If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known We
would take the country
(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 must not be
denied
(Che:) How annoying that they have to fight elections for their
cause The inconvenience, having to get a majority If normal methods of
persuasion fail to win them applause There are other ways of establishing
authority
(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.
