[MAN] 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?
[MOB] 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
[PERON] A new Argentina!
A new age about to begin!
[ALL] A new Argentina!
We face the world together
And no dissent within
[MAN1]
Nationalization of the industries
That the foreigners control
[MAN2] Participation in the profits
That we made
[MAN3]
Shorter hours, higher wages
[WOMAN1]
Votes for women
Larger doors
[WOMAN2]
More public spending
A bigger size of every cake
[PERON]
It's annoying that we have to
Fight elections for our cause
The inconvenience
Of having to get a majority
If normal methods of persuasion
Fail to win us applause
There are other ways
Of establishing authority
[ALL] We have ways of
Making you vote for us
Or at least of making you abstain
[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 Agentina!
The voice of the people
Cannot be
And will not be,
And must not be, denied!
[PERON-slower]
Then again I could be foolish
Not to quit while I'm ahead
I can see me many miles away,
Inactive
Sipping cocktails on a terrace,
Taking breakfast in bed
Sleeping easy,
Doing crosswords, it's attractive.
[EVA-fast]
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?
[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!
