On The Balcony Of The Casa Rosada II

Eva: Just listen to that the voice of Argentina
We are adored we are loved

Statesman: Statesmanship is more than entertaining peasants

Eva's mother: We shall see little man

Crowd: Evita Peron la Santa Peronista
(chanting continues)

Eva: I'm only a simple woman who lives to serve Peron in his noble
crusade to rescue his people. I was once as you are now and I promise you this:
we will take the riches from the oligarchs

On The Balcony Of The Casa Rosada 2

(eva:)
Just listen to that, the voice of argentina
We are adored, we are loved
(officer:)
Statesmanship is more than entertaining peasants
(evas sister:)
We shall see little man
(crowd:)
[evita peron, la santa peronista ... ]
(eva:)
I am only a simple woman
Who lives to serve peron in his noble crusade
To rescue his people
I was once as you are now, and I promise you this
We will take the riches from the obligarchs
Only for you, for all of you
And one day, you too will inherit these treasures
Descamisados, mis companeros
When they fire those cannons, when the crowds sing of glory
It is not just for peron, but for all of us, for all of us
(aristocrats:)
Things have reached a pretty pass
When someone pretty lower-class
Can be respected and admired
(aristocrat:)
But our privileged class is dead
Look who they are calling for now

Election. this is the first public appearance by peron and eva
Since that triumph.)

People of argentina
Your newly elected president, juan peron

We are all workers now
Fighting against our common enemies

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 peron and his wife
The first lady of argentina, eva duarte de peron

Hello And Goodbye

Eva: Hello and goodbye I've just unemployed you
You can go back to school
You've had a good run I'm sure he enjoyed you
Don't act sad or surprised let's be friends civilized

Come on little one don't sit there like a dummy
The day you knew would arrive is here
You'll survive
So move Funny Face
I like your conversation you've a catchy turn of phrase

(to Peron)You're obviously going through some adolescent phase

Peron's mistress: So what happens now
So what happens now
Where am I going to

Peron: You'll get by you always have before

Peron's mistress: Where am I going to

Eva: Don't ask anymore

The Perfect Woman

She stands out elegantly tall
Staring you straight into your eyeball
She is a woman all girls want to be
She is the woman all girls want to see

With her display of motherly kindness
Exhibiting contemporary greatness
Her presence is a charm
Even her smile alone disarms

Her life paints only positive examples
Everyone frequently questions and samples
They all want to be like her
They all want to be a superstar

Her outstanding personality
Is more than just a female identity!
She is a woman all girls want to be
She is the woman all girls want to see

Some people say she is perfect
Others claim her to be an intellect
A role model she is to be correct
O! The lives of many she affects

She is quite plain and simple
Always out there for the people
She is one without flaws
Always abiding by the law

She is the perfect woman
All girls want to be
She is the perfect woman
All girls want to see

I'd Be Surprisingly Good For You

Eva: Colonel Peron

Peron: Eva Duarte

Eva and Peron: I've heard so much about you

Eva: I'm amazed for I'm only an actress
Nothing to shout about only a girl on the air
Together
Peron: I'm amazed for I'm only a soldier
One of the thousands defending the country he loves

Eva: But when you act the things you do affect us all

Peron: But when you act you take us away from the squallor 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 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

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 20 of them anyway
What is 20 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 defeatest 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

People of Argentina: 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 worker's regime
He lives for your problems he shares your ideals and your dream
He supports you for he loves you understands you in one of you
If not how could he love me

People of Argentina: A new Argentina the worker's 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

People of Argentina: A new Argentina a new age about to begin
A new Argentina we face the world together 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 thos 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

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

People of Argentina: 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 of having to get a majority
If normal methods of persuasion fail to win them applause
There are other ways of establishing authority

People of Argentina: A new Argentina the chains of the masses untied
A new Argentina the voice of the people cannot be and must not be and will not be denied

What Every Woman Lives For

(words & music by pomus - shuman)
She may say she needs fancy bangles and beads
Thats part of a womans plan
But what every woman lives for
What every woman lives for
Is to give her love to a man
Wise men have known women cant live alone
So a woman should understand
That what every woman lives for
What every woman lives for
Is to give her love to a man
He may not be the kind you find in picture books
A real life hero with dashing handsome looks
He may not be the guy that youve been dreaming of
But that wont stop you from giving him your love
So dear, cant you see that it was meant to be
Its part, part of our destiny
cause what every woman lives for
What every woman lives for
Is to give her love to a man
And I hope that man is me

I had watched for many years and seen how a few rich families held much of Argentina's wealth and power in their hands. So Peron and the government brought in an eight hour working day , sickness pay and fair wages to give poor workers a fair go .

Anna

I got asweet little angel and I love her so
She's there when I need her, she understands when I say go
In the night, when she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strong
Living with her unfolds me, she gives me strength to carry on
I don't need anyone else
If I did I would be fooling myself
Anna, Anna
And I know if she left me, my world would turn cold
She's the best liitle lady that a man could ever hold
When I'm down, she knows what to say
She clears my blindness away
And in the night, she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strong
I don't need nobody else
If I did I would be fooling myself
Anna, Anna
I found me a simple woman, yeah yeah
A simple woman
I have found me a simple woman, oooh yeah
A simple woman for a simple man
I found me a simple woman,
A simple woman, oh yeah yeah yeah

Your Little Body's Slowly Breaking Down

Peron: Your little body's slowly breaking down
You're losing speed you're losing strength not style
That goes on flourishing forever but your eyes your smile
Do not have the sparkle of your fantastic past
If you climb one more mountain it could be your last

Eva: I'm not that ill
Bad moments come but they go
Some days are fine
Some a little bit harder
But that doesn't mean we should give up our dream
Have you ever seen me defeated
Don't you forget what I've been through and yet
I'm still standing

Peron: Eva

No People No Land

It is people's land
Laws regulations all for the people
Rulers officers judges for welfare of people.

No people no land
Without people all zero.
Come to people serve people
Do all good to people.

People's welfare motto
Actions should concentrate
For people's all round development.

Come to people serve people
If you go against people
You lose your existence
And become zero again.222

Is man superior?

Man lives by eyes.
Woman lives by ears.
He thrives by sacrifice.
She lives with her wiles.
Man is left over
As woman takes over.
Entirety is woman.
Appendage is man.

Outwardly
Man is superior!

And The Money Kept Rolling In (And Out)

Che: And the money kept rolling in from every side

Eva's pretty hands reached out and they reached wide
Now you may feel it should have been a voluntary cause
But that's not the point my friends
When the money keeps rolling in you don't ask how
Think of all the people guaranteed a good time now
Eva's called the hungry to her open up the doors
Never been a fund like the Foundation Eva Peron

Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling on in rolling on in rolling on in rolling on in on in

Would you like to try a college education
Own your landlord's house take the family on vacation
Eva and her blessed fund can make your dreams come true
Here's all you have to do my friends
Write your name and your dream on a card or a pad or a ticket
Throw it high into the air and should our lady pick it
She will change your way of life for a week or even two
Name me anyone who cares as much as Eva Peron

Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling on out rolling on out rolling on out rolling on out on out

And the money kept rolling out in all directions
To the poor to the weak to the destitute of all complexions
Now cynics claim a little of the cash has gone astray
But that's not the point my friends
When the money keeps rolling out you don't keep books
You can tell you've done well by the happy grateful looks
Accountants only slow things down figures get in the way
Never been a lady loved as much as Eva Peron

Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling on out rolling on out rolling on out rolling on out on out

Eva

When the money keeps rolling out you don't keep books
You can tell you've done well by the happy grateful looks
Accountants only slow things down figures get in the way
Never been a lady loved as much as Eva Peron

Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling

Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling on out rolling on out rolling on out rolling on out on out

Simple Woman

Simple woman who does not put make-up
Doesn't follow in fashion, the way she dress up
Long skirt and blouses, covered from bottom to top
Never been seen her fine good skin
But she is a woman with good lookin.

Simple woman who captured my heart
Though I can only see her from afar
My eyes sticked and don't blink apart
With black long hair and smile she makes
That feels me like going for a race.

Simple woman I'm dreaming every night
Wants to hold her and hug her tight
Sometimes imagine her in a dim light
Dancing with me till midnight
With love song and romantic candle light.

Simple woman is what I need in my life
'Coz I'm sure she would be a faithful wife
Has pure heart and sincere love that reside
Oh! woman I need you by my side
Wish you love me, and be mine.

The Dead Heart

We dont serve your country
Dont serve your king
Know your custom dont speak your tongue
White man came took everyone
We dont serve your country
Dont serve your king
White man listen to the songs we sing
White man came took everything
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
We dont need protection
Dont need your land
Keep your promise on where we stand
We will listen well understand
Mining companies, pastoral companies
Uranium companies
Collected companies
Got more right than people
Got more say than people
Forty thousand years can make a difference to the state of things
The dead heart lives here

Simple Woman

Simple woman won't you take me home tonight
Simple woman won't you take me home tonight
You don't love me any-
You don't love me any-
No, no, no
Simple woman won't you take me home tonight
Won't you take me home tonight
Simple woman - suck the poison from my veins
Simple woman - suck the poison from my veins
You won't leave any-
You don't need me any-
No, no, no
Simple woman - suck the poison from my veins
Now, suck the poison from my veins
No, no, no
You don't understand me
You might wanna take your side
Just go away and
Would you leave me by myself
She asked me
Why so shy
If you only knew what I was thinking
You would understand
It's been so long since I have felt the ways
I felt your smile upon me
In my soul
Can't you realise
I am just a man
I can't live without you
When you see me - what do you see
Can't you see I don't want you to pity me
Only with your love
Cos that would kill me
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
Never gonna forgive you, girl
For taking me this with you, no
Where you goin'
And why you gotta' leave me
Not alone
Never forgive you for this, girl
Oh, no

United We Stand

United we stand,
Together we fall,
The is no loss or retread,
Only death or victory.

But what does that victory bring to us,
One step closer to dying somewhere else,
Our lives are at the disposal of the few,
Do they fight? I think not.

We are the elite,
Better then the rest,
Trained to the peak of exhaustion and fitness,
And yet we still die like men.

Around us, high walls, buildings and guns,
All here to serve one mans greed,
Greed that will lead to his demise,
But will we follow?

Beaten back, killed, mugged and shot,
And yet we still fight on,
There must be a reason for this madness,
If only it was that simple.

United we stand,
Together we die,
We give our lives as a constant reminder,
War is horrid, people die don’t forget it.
