People of Argentina!
Your newly elected president
Juan Perón!
Perón! Perón!
Perón! Perón!
Perón! Perón!
Perón! Perón!
Perón! Perón!
Argentinos!
Argentinos!
We are all shirtless now
Fighting against our common enemies
Poverty
Social Injustice
Foreign domination of our industries
Reaching for our common goals
Our independence
Our dignity
Our pride
Let the world know
That our great nation is awakening
And that its heart
Beats in the humble bodies
Of Juan Perón
And his wife
The first lady of Argentina
Eva Duarte de Perón!
Perón! Perón!
Perón! Perón!
Perón! Perón!
Perón! Perón!
As a mere observer of this tasteless phenomenon
One has to admire the stage management
There again perhaps I'm more than a mere observer
Listen to my enthusiasm gentlemen
Perón! Perón!
Perón!
Look! I will take off my shirt, will you?
Evita! Evita!
Evita! Evita!
Evita! Evita!
Evita! Evita!
It won't be easy
You'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love
After all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see
Is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window
Staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world
They were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions
They promise to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Don't cry for me Argentina
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do
Is look at me to know
That every word is true
Just listen to that, the voice of Argentina
We are adored
We are loved
Statesmanship is more than entertaining peasants
We shall see little man
Evita Perón, la santa peronista
Evita Perón, la santa peronista
Evita Perón, la santa peronista
Evita Perón, la santa peronista
Evita Perón, la santa peronista
Evita Perón, la santa peronista
Evita Perón, la santa peronista
Evita Perón, la santa peronista
I am only a simple woman
Who lives to serve Perón in his noble crusade to rescue his people
I was once as you are now
I have taken the riches from the obligarchs
Only for you
For all of you
And one day
You will inherit these treasures
Descamisados
Mis compañeros
When they fire those cannons
When the crowds sing of glory
It is not just for Perón
But for all of us
For all of us
Things have reached a pretty pass
When someone pretty lower-class
Can be accepted and admired
But your despicable class is dead
Look who they are calling for now
