(Peron:)\r
Dice are rolling, the knives are out\r
Would-be presidents are all around\r
I dont say they mean harm\r
But theyd each give an arm\r
To see us six feet underground\r
\r
(Eva:)\r
\r
It doesnt matter what those morons say\r
Our nations leaders are a feeble crew\r
Theres only twenty of them anyway\r
What is twenty next to millions who\r
Are looking to you\r
\r
All you have to do is sit and wait\r
Keeping out of everybodys way\r
Well ... youll be handed power on a plate\r
When the ones who matter have their say\r
And with chaos installed\r
You can reluctantly agree to be called\r
\r
(Peron:)\r
There again we could be foolish not to quit while were ahead\r
For distance lends enchantment, and that is why\r
All exiles are distinguished, more important, theyre not dead\r
I could find job satisfaction in Paraguay\r
\r
(Eva:)\r
This is crazy defeatist talk\r
Why commit political suicide, theres no risk\r
Theres no call for any action at all\r
When you have unions on your side\r
\r
(Workers:)\r
A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied\r
A new Argentina, the voice of the people\r
Cannot be denied\r
\r
(Eva:)\r
There is only one man who can lead any workers regime\r
He lives for your problems, he shares your ideals and your dream\r
He supports you, for he loves you\r
Understands you, is one of you\r
If not, how could he love me\r
\r
(Workers:)\r
A new Argentina, the workers battle song\r
A new Argentina, the voice of the people\r
Rings out loud and long\r
\r
(Eva:)\r
Now I am a worker, Ive suffered the way that you do\r
Ive been unemployed, and Ive starved and Ive hated it too\r
But I found my salvation in Peron, may the nation\r
Let him save them as he saved me\r
\r
(All:)\r
A new Argentina, a new age about to begin\r
A new Argentina, we face the world together\r
And no dissent within\r
\r
(Peron:)\r
There again we could be foolish not to quit while were ahead\r
I can see us many miles away, inactive\r
Sipping cocktails on a terrace, taking breakfast in bed\r
Sleeping easy, doing nothing, its attractive\r
\r
(Eva:)\r
Dont think I dont think like you\r
I often get those nightmares too\r
They always take some swallowing\r
Sometimes its very difficult to keep momentum\r
If its you that you are following\r
Dont close doors, keep an escape clause\r
Because we might lose the Big Apple\r
\r
But would I have done what I did\r
If I hadnt thought, if I hadnt known\r
We would take the country\r
\r
(Eva:)\r
Peron has resigned from the army and this we avow\r
The descamisados are those he is marching with now\r
He supports you, for he loves you\r
Understands you, is one of you\r
If not, how could he love me\r
\r
(All:)\r
A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied\r
A new Argentina, the voice of the people\r
Cannot be, and must not be denied\r
\r
(Che:)\r
How annoying that they have to fight elections for their cause\r
The inconvenience, having to get a majority\r
If normal methods of persuasion fail to win them applause\r
There are other ways of establishing authority\r
\r
(All:)\r
A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied\r
A new Argentina, the voice of the people\r
Cannot be, and will not be, and must not be denied.\r
\r
