  -------------------------
  (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 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
    (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.
