Peron:   Dice are rolling   The knives are out   Would be presidents are all around   I can'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 anyways   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   You'll be handed power on a plate   When the ones who matter have their say   And with chaos in store, 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 than are dead   I could find job satisfaction in Paraguay      Eva:   This is crazy, defeat is 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      All:   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?      All:   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      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.
