Evita Soundtrack (Part 1)

Peron: People of Europe
I send you the rainbow of Argentina

Che: Spain has fallen to the charms of Evita
She can do what she likes it doesn't matter much

Advisor: She's our lady of the new world with a golden touch
She filled a bullring 45,000 seater

Che: But if you're prettier than General Franco
That's not hard

Advisor: Franco's reign in Spain should see out the '40s
So you've just acquired an ally who
Looks as secure in his job as you
But more important current political thought is
Your wife's a phenominal asset your trump card

All: Let's hear it for the rainbow tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure we had a few doubts
Will Evita win through
But the answer is yes

Peron: There you are I told you so
Makes no difference where she goes
The whole world over just the same
Just listen to them call her name
And who would underestimate the actress now

Che: Now I don't like to spoil a wonderful story
But the news from Rome isn't quite as good
She hasn't gone down like they thought she would
Italy's unconvinced by Argentine glory
They equate Peron with Mussolini can't think why

Eva: Did you hear that they called me a whore
They actually called me a whore

Evita's escort: But Senora Peron it's an easy mistake
I'm still called an admiral yet I gave up the sea long ago

Advisor: More bad news from Rome she met with the pope
She only got a rosary a kindly word

Che: I wouldn't say the holy father gave her the bird
But papal decorations never a hope

Advisor: She still looked the part in St. Peters
Caught the eye

All: Let's hear it for the rainbow tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure we had a few doubts
Will Evita win through
But the answer is

Che: A qualified yes

Eva started well no question in France
Shining like a sun through the post war haze
A beautiful reminder of the care free days
She nearly captured the French she sure had the chance
But she suddenly seemed to lose interest
She looked tired

Face the facts the rainbow started to fade
I don't think she'll make it to England now

Advisor: It wasn't on the schedule anyhow

Che: You'd better get out the flags and fix a parade
Some kind of coming home in triumph is required

All: Let's hear it for the rainbow tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure we had a few doubts
Will Evita win through
But the answer is yes

Che: A;nd no

Advisor: And yes

Che: And no

Advisor: And yes

Che: And no

Advisor: Let's hear it for the rainbow tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure we had a few doubts
Will Evita win through
But the answer is yes
Yes

Children: Please gentle Eva will you bless a little child
For I love you tell Heaven I'm doing my best
I'm praying for you even though you're already blessed

Please Mother Eva will you look upon me as your own
Make me special
Be my angel be my everything wonderful perfect and true
And I'll try to be exactly like you

Please Mother Eva will you feed a hungry child
For I love you tell Heaven I'm doing my best
I'm praying for you even though you're already blessed

Please gentle Eva will you feed a hungry child
For I love you tell Heaven I'm doing my best
I'm praying for you even though you're already blessed

Che: Turn a blind eye Evita turn a blind eye

Chorus: Santa Santa Evita
Madre de todos lost ninos
De los tiranizados
De los descamisados
De los trabajadores
De la Argentina

Eva: There again I've more to do
Than simply get the message through
I haven't started
Let's get this show on the road
Let's make it obvious
Peron is off and rolling

Male chorus: Eyes, hair, mouth, figure,
dress, voice, style, movement,
hands, magic, rings, glamour,
face, diamons, excitement, image

Eva: I came from the people they need to adore me
So Christian Dior me from my head to my toes
I need to be dazzling I want to be rainbow high
They must have excitement so must I

Male chorus: Eyes, hair, mouth, figure,
dress, voice, style, movement

Eva: I'm their product it's vital you sell me
So Machiavel me make an Argentine rose
I need to be thrilling I want to be rainbow high
They need their escape and so do I

Male chorus: Eyes, hair, mouth, figure,
dress, voice, style, movement,
hands, magic, rings, glamour,
face, diamons, excitement, image

Eva: All my descamisados expect me to outshine the enemy
I won't disappoint them

I'm their savior that's what they call me
So Lauren Bacall me anything goes
To meke me fantastic I have to be rainbow high
In magical colours

You're not decorating a girl for a night on the town
And I'm not a second rate queen getting kicks with a crown

Next stop will be Europe
The rainbow's gonna tour dressed up somewhere to go
We'll put on a show

Look out mighty Europe
Because you oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Argentina's brand of star quality

English: Thus all fairy stories end
Only an actress would pretend
Affairs of state are her latest play
Eight shows a week 2 matinees

My how the worm begins to turn
When will the chorus girl ever learn
My how the worm begins to turn
When will the chorus girl ever learn

Eva: The chorus girl hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
She won't go scrambling over the backs of the poor to be accepted
By making donations just large enough to the correct charity
She won't be president of your wonderful societies of philanthropy
Even if you asked her to be
As you should have asked her to be

The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
She won't join your clubs she won't dance in your halls
She won't help the hungry once a month at your tombolas
She'll simply take control as you disappear

Che: Forgive my intrusion but fine as those sentiments sound
Little has changed for us peasants down here on the ground
I hate to sound childish ungrateful I don't like to moan
But do you now represent anyone's cause but your own

Eva: Everything done will be justified by my foundation

Eva: Peron is everything. He is the soul, the nerve, the hope,
and the reality of the Argentine people. We all know that there is only one man
in our movement with his own source of light, we all feed from his light,

Crowd: Evita Peron Partido Feminista
Evita Peron Partido Feminista
Evita Peron Partido Feminista
Evita Peron Partido Feminista

Che: And now she wants to be vice president

Advisors: That was the over the top unacceptable suggestion
We didn't approve but we couldn't prevent the games of the wife of the president
But to give her pretentions encouragement
She's out of her depth and out of the question

Peron: Your little body's slowly breaking down
You're losing speed you're losing strength not style
That goes on flourishing forever but your eyes your smile
Do not have the sparkle of your fantastic past
If you climb one more mountain it could be your last

Eva: I'm not that ill
Bad moments come but they go
Some days are fine
Some a little bit harder
But that doesn't mean we should give up our dream
Have you ever seen me defeated
Don't you forget what I've been through and yet
I'm still standing

Peron: Eva, you are dying.

Eva: So what happens now
Where am I going to

Peron: Don't ask anymore

Peron: But on the other hand she's all they have
She's a diamond in their dull grey lives
And that's the hardest kind of stone
It usually survives
And when you think about it can you recall
The last time they loved anyone at all

She's not a bauble you can brush aside
She's been out doing what we just talked about
Example gave us back our buisnesses
Got the English out
And when you think about it well why not do
One or two of the things we promised to

But on the other hand she's slowing down
She's lost a little of that magic drive
But I would not advise those critics present
Any satisfaction from her fading star
She's the one who's kept us where are

Advisors: She's the one who's kep you where you are
