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:
Peron! peron! peron! peron! peron!


Che:
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?


Che & 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

Che:

A new argentina, a new age about to begin
A new argentina, we face the world together
And no dissent within


Peron:
It's annoying that we have to fight elections for our cause

The inconvenience, having to get a majority
If normal methods of persuasion fail to win us applause
There are other ways of establishing authority


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 will not be, and must not be denied.
