Lyrics

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!

Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón!

Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón!

Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón!

Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón!

Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón!

Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón!

As a mere observer of this tasteless phenomenon

One has to admire the stage management

Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón!

There again, perhaps I'm more than a mere observer

Listen to my enthusiasm, gentlemen

Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón!

Perón! Perón! Perón!

Look, if I take off my shirt, will you—

Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón!

Perón! Perón! Perón! Perón!

Evita! Evita! Evita! Evita! Evita! Evita! Evita! Evita! Evita!

It won't be easy, you'll think it's 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 are 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!

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 these riches from the oligarchs

Only for you—for all of you!

One day you will inherit these treasures

Descamisados! When they fire those cannons

When the crowds sing of glory

It is not just for Perón, but for all of us! All of us!

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!

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!

Evita Perón! La Santa Peronista!

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!
