[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 @@#!tails 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
