Can't stop

Chorus:

Can't stop thinking about you babe, can't stop
Can't stop screaming and shouting your name, can't stop
Look out boy 'cause i'm going to the top
Of your list, can't stop

I've tried and tried to get next to you
My friends say i am blind i'll never break through
But i don't give in so easily
This i know, you just wait and see

I know that you're afraid that i might
Come steal your heart away in the night
But i can't take away what's not mine
You'll see, you'll come to me in time, can't stop

(chorus)

I've never gone the distance before
To find if love was worth giving more
I was born to love you i've got nothing to hide
I know about your secret side

So shut me out, i'll never let go
'cause i can work a spell on your soul
I play the fool but it won't last for long
Oh no, 'cause baby i'm too strong, can't stop

(chorus, repeat)

Intermediate:

Don't be afraid to try
Just let me love you for a while
You'll see, what it's all about
Oh baby i can't clear you out

[can't stop, can't stop, can't stop]

So shut me out, i'll never let go
'cause i can work a spell on your soul
I play the fool but it won't last for long
Oh no, 'cause baby i'm too strong, can't stop

(intermediate)
(chorus, repeat)

Just can't help myself
You know i've got to have you and no one else [can't stop]
(repeat and fade)

(aristocrats:)
Thus all fairy stories end
Only an actress would pretend
Affairs of state are her latest play
Eight shows a week, two 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:)
The choice was mine, and mine completely
I could have any prize that i desired
I could burn with the splendor of the brightest fire
Or else, or else i could choose time

Remember i was very young then
And a year was forever and a day
So what use could fifty, sixty, seventy be?
I saw the lights, and i was on my way

And how i lived, how they shone
But how soon the lights were gone

(che:)
The choice was yours and noone else's
You can cry for a body in despair
Hang your head because she is no longer there
To shine, to dazzle, or betray
How she lived, how she shone
But how soon the lights were gone

(embalmers:)
Eyes, hair, face, image
All must be preserved
Still life displayed forever
No less than she deserved.

Watch where you walk 'cause the sidewalks talk
And you can't keep a secret from the ground beneath you
Step very lightly on the earth below
Or before you know it everyone will know

Streets were paved with a thousand eyes
And try as you may you can't disguise
There's only two things that you can't hide from
That's you and the ground you're walking on

Chorus:

Watch where you walk, 'cause the sidewalks talk
You better watch what you do, what you do
'cause the sidewalk talk can get carried away
You better watch what you say, what you say

Think when you speak 'cause you gotta 'long the street
They can read what you say so you gotta stay away
From words that sting, words are not true
And the things you say make a fool of you

Little white lies make the sidewalk cry
And you can betray with the things you say
Words won't last when you say 'em too fast
And you've been mislead by the things you've said

(chorus)

Intermediate:

When you're living on the street
Life can be full of misery
Find a place to call your own
Make your heart into a home

You can do it, uh huh
(repeat 3 times)

You can do it

After every word there's a place that heard
Every time your shoe hits the avenue
And when you've gone they'll sing a song
Of the stories you told when you felt so bold

You better think twice when you cross the ice
Everything you do comes back to you
When you're shedding a tear sidewalks will hear
When your laughter's true they'll run with you

(chorus)
(intermediate)

You can do it, uh huh
(repeat 3 times)

You can do it
(repeat 3 times)

(chorus)

Sidewalk talk
(repeat 3 times)

Let me tell ya 'bout sidewalk talk
Sidewalk talk
Sidewalk talk
Sidewalk talk
(repeat)

Watch out for sidewalk talk
Sidewalk talk
Sidewalk talk
Sidewalk talk

Let me tell ya 'bout
Let me tell ya 'bout
Let me tell ya 'bout
Let me tell ya 'bout sidewalk talk

Gambler, gambler

Chorus:

I'm a gambler, and i will take you by surprise
Gambler, i'll aim this straight between your eyes
Gambler, yeah i know all the words to say
'cause i'm a gambler, i only play the game my way, yeah

Don't want to say this but i think that i should
I'm better off forgotten if you think that i'd be good
One day you see me the next day i'm gone
Don't fight me baby i don't want to hold on
I'm a gambler, a gambler

You're not happy with the way i act
You better turn around boy, don't look back
You're getting angry, you know i can see
You're just jealous 'cause you can't be me

(chorus)

Intermediate:

You can't stop me now
'cause i'm right and i'm making advances
Let me show you how
Tonight, i'll be taking my chances
On you, on you, on you, on you, that's right baby

I'm a gambler, gambler
You understand what i'm talking about?

(chorus)
(intermediate)

I'm a gambler, a gambler
Gambler, 'cause i'm a gambler

You can't stop me now
I'm on the road baby i know how
You can't stop me now
Oh no

You can't stop me now (repeat 3 times)

'cause i'm a gambler, yeah i'm a gambler
That's right baby

"no" is just a word
That people say when they're afraid
And if you say "no" to me
Then i will fight you till i'm free

Say freedom, brotherhood
Justice, just say "yes"
Say freedom, brotherhood
Justice, just say "yes"

'cause "no" is just a word
That people say when they can't cope
And if you say "no" to me
Then i will fight you till i'm free

Freedom, brotherhood
Justice, just say "yes"
Freedom, brotherhood
Justice, just say "yes"

'cause "no" is just a word
That people say when they are lost
And if you say "no" to me
Then i will fight you till i'm free

Say freedom, brotherhood
Justice, just say "yes"
Freedom, brotherhood
Justice, just say "yes"

Say freedom, brotherhood
Justice, just say "yes" to me

(choir:)
Respice, quaesumus, domine
Famulam tuam evita
In infirmitate
Et animam refove, quam creasti
Ut castigationibus emendata
Se tua sentiat medicina salvatam
Per christum, dominuum
Qui vivit et regnat
Per omnia saecula saeculorum
Amen
(translation:
Look with favor, we beseech thee, oh lord
Upon thy handmaid evita
In her weakness
And refresh the soul which thou hast created
That being corrected by thy chastisement
She may find herself cured by thy healing
Through christ, our lord
Who lives and reigns
Forever and ever
Amen )


(che:)
She had her moments, she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the casa rosada crying, "eva peron"
But that's all gone now

Chorus:

Was it just a dream?
Did i feel your devotion?
Dreams are never what they seem
Did we just go through the motions?

I keep your photograph by my bed to remind me
That i was part of your life
I say my prayers to the sandman
That he'll find me fast asleep

Sleep has always been kind
And in my dreams you'll always be mine
But in the morning when i wake
I remember that my heart does ache

(chorus, repeat)

I admit that i did my bit to deceive you
But sometimes i was afraid
That this day would come
How could you just leave me all alone now

I have always been strong
So i know that i can go on
But right now i feel so dead inside
Oh sleep come to me, cause that's where i hide

(chorus, repeat)

All that i have, all i ask
All my dreams, they fade so fast
Don't wake me up, not today
All my dreams will fade away

And i want him, and i need him
I can't live and i'd die just to see him
Just to feel his hands on my face
Smell his skin, and his warm embrace
Cause it's all that i have
And it's fading so fast

Mmmm, mmmm
Uh, uh huh

Now i have always been strong
So i know that i can go on
But right now i feel so dead inside
Oh sleep come to me, cause that's where i hide

(chorus, repeat)

All that i have, all that i ask
All my dreams, they fade so fast
Don't wake me up, not today
All my dreams will fade away

[was it just a dream?]
And i want him, and i need him
I can't live and i'd die just to see him
Don't wake me up, not today
All my dreams will fade away

[was it just a dream?]
All that i have, all that i ask
All my dreams, they fade so fast
Don't wake me up, not today
All my dreams will fade away
(repeat and fade)

Tu piensas que yo no podre vivir sin ti
Tu piensas no podra sobrevivir
Que nada me queda, si no estas junto a mi
Veras que no es asi

Tu piensas que jamas sere feliz sin ti
Que destruiste al fin mi corazon
Que no voy a descubrir la forma de volver atras
Sin ti, yo se que si

Estribillo:

Ya lo veras
No necesito a nadie mas
Podre resistir
Voy a poder seguir
Lo hare por mi
Sera mi gloria personal
Nadie, ni tu, me la podra quitar
Veras

Acepta la verdad, no llorare por ti
Yo se que asi sera, podre salir
Voy a saltar sin red, y no voy a caer
Sera mejor sin ti

(estribillo)

Veras
(translation:
You think i won't be able to live without you
You think: she won't be able to survive
That i have nothing left if you're not by my side
You'll see, it's not like that

You think i'll never be happy without you
That finally you destroyed my heart
That i won't find my way back
Without you, i know i will

Chorus:

You will see
I don't need anyone else
I will resist
I'll manage to go on
I'll do it for myself
It will be my personal glory
No one, not even you, can take it from me
You'll see

Accept the truth, i will not cry for you
I know it'll be so, i will pull through
I'll jump without a net, and i'm not going to fall
It will be better without you

(chorus)

You'll see )

Should have left you standing right where you stood
Should have let you go, should have had the sense to know
Like a train you'd come, and i'd lose my place
Now i'm on this trip, i took a fall from grace

Chorus:

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
From the look of love, from the eyes of pride
Nowhere to go, no place to run
From the look of love, now i've come undone

I've had a map laid out from the day i was born
But the roads are blocked, and the paper is worn
And all the books i've read, and the things i know
Never taught me to laugh, never taught to let go

(chorus)

My conscience is clear i know right from wrong
That's a lie i know nothing except that you're gone
But there's more to learn from the look in your eyes
That trip round this world, the stars in the sky

Now all the books i've read, and the things i know
Never taught me to live, never taught me to let go

(chorus)

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
From the look of love, lord knows i've tried
Nowhere to go, no place to run
From the look of love, now i've come undone

[nowhere to hide]
[no place to run]
[nowhere to hide]
[no place to run]

[evita peron, partido feminista] (repeat in background)

(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, and that is peron

(che:)
And now she wants to be vice-president

(officers:)
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 pretensions encouragement
She's out of her depth, and out of the question

(eva:)
What's new buenos aires?
I'm new, i wanna say i'm just a little stuck on you
You'll be on me too

I get out here, buenos aires
Stand back, you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality

Fill me up with your heat, with your noise
With your dirt, overdo me
Let me dance to your beat, make it loud
Let it hurt, run it through me.
Don't hold back, you are certain to impress
Tell the driver this is where i'm staying

Hello, buenos aires
Get this, just look at me dressed up, somewhere to go
We'll put on a show

Take me in at your flood, give me speed
Give me lights, set me humming
Shoot me up with your blood, wine me up
With your nights, watch me coming
All i want is a whole lot of excess
Tell the singer this is where i'm playing

Stand back, buenos aires
Because you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality

And if ever i go too far
It's because of the things you are
Beautiful town, i love you
And if i need a moment's rest
Give your lover the very best
Real eiderdown and silence.

(musical interlude)

You're a tramp, you're a treat
You will shine to the death, you are shoddy
But you're flesh, you are meat
You shall have every breath in my body
Put me down for a lifetime of success
Give me credit, i'll find ways of paying

Rio de la plata
Florida, corrientes, nueve de julio
All i want to know

Stand back, buenos aires
Because you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of star quality

(eva:)
Hello and goodbye, i just unemployed you
You can go back to school
You've had a good run, i'm sure he enjoyed you
Don't act sad or surprised, let's be friends, civilized

Come on little one, don't sit there like a dummy
The day you knew would arrive is here, you'll survive
So move, funny face

I like your conversation, you've a catchy turn of phrase
You're obviously going through some adolescent phase

(mistress:)
So what happens now?
So what happens now?
Where am i going to?
(peron:) you'll get by, you always have before
(mistress:) where am i going to?
(eva:) don't ask anymore

(che:)
And the money kept rolling in from every side
Eva's pretty hands reached out and they reached wide
Now you may feel it should have been a voluntary cause
But that's not the point my friends
When the money keeps rolling in, you don't ask how
Think of all the people guaranteed a good time now
Eva's called the hungry to her, open up the doors
Never been a fund like the foundation eva peron

Chorus:

(workers:)
Rollin' rollin' rollin', rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin', rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin', rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin', rollin' rollin' rollin'

Rollin' on in, rollin' on in
Rollin' on in, rollin' on in
On in

(che:)
Would you like to try a college education?
Own your landlord's house, take the family on vacation?
Eva and her blessed fund can make your dreams come true
Here's all you have to do my friends
Write your name and your dream on a card or a pad or a ticket
Throw it high in the air and should our lady pick it
She will change your way of life for a week or even two
Name me anyone who cares as much as eva peron

(chorus)

Rollin' on out, rollin' on out
Rollin' on out, rollin' on out
On out

(che:)
And the money kept rolling out in all directions
To the poor, to the weak, to the destitute of all complexions
Now cynics claim a little of the cash has gone astray
But that's not the point my friends
When the money keeps rolling out you don't keep books
You can tell you've done well by the happy grateful looks
Accountants only slow things down, figures get in the way
Never been a lady loved as much as eva peron

(chorus)

Rollin' on out, rollin' on out
Rollin' on out, rollin' on out
On out

(che:)
Eva!!!
When the money keeps rolling out you don't keep books
You can tell you've done well by the happy grateful looks
Accountants only slow things down, figures get in the way
Never been a lady loved as much as eva peron

(chorus)

Rollin' on out, rollin' on out
Rollin' on out, rollin' on out
Rollin' on out, rollin' on out
On out

(magaldi:)
On this night
On this night
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays forever more

(eva:) magaldi
(magaldi:) eva duarte
(eva:) your act hasn't changed much
(magaldi:) neither has yours

(peron:)
I stand here as a servant of the people
As we come together for a marvelous cause
You've shown by your presence, your deeds and applause
What the people can do, true power is yours
Not the government's, unless it represents the people

(che:)
One always picks the easy fight
One praises fools, one smothers light
One shifts from left to right
Politics, the art of the possible

(ricky martin:)
Be careful with my heart
You could break it
Don't take my love for granted
Things could change

Sometimes i go insane
I play the fool and you'll agree
I'll never be the same
Without you here with me

Chorus:

Cuidado [please be careful]
Con mi corazon
Me siento
Algo desnuda
Cuidado [please be careful]
Es mi corazon
Mi corazon

(madonna:)
Be careful with my heart
You could break it
Don't take my love for granted
Things could change

Sometimes i go insane
I play the fool and you'll agree
I'll never be the same
Without you here with me

Chorus2:

Cuidado [please be careful]
Con mi corazon
Cari

(che:)
Oh what a circus, oh what a show
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called eva peron
We've all gone crazy
Mourning all day and mourning all night
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right

Oh what an exit, that's how to go
When they're ringing your curtain down
Demand to be buried like eva peron
It's quite a sunset
And good for the country in a roundabout way
We've made the front page of all the world's papers today

But who is this santa evita?
Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
What kind of goddess has lived among us?
How will we ever get by without her?

She had her moments, she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the casa rosada crying, "eva peron"
But that's all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years

(crowd:)
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina
Ad te clamamus exules filii eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia
Hail, oh queen, mother of mercy
Our life, sweetness, and hope
Hail, hail, oh queen
To you we cry, exiled sons of eve
To you we sigh, mourning and weeping
Oh clement, oh loving one


(che:)
You let down your people evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
That's all they wanted, not much to ask for
But in the end you could not deliver

Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead, your king is through
And she's not coming back to you

Show business kept us all alive
Since seventeen october 1945
But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin
That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in

Instead of government we had a stage
Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage
Instead of help we were given a crowd
She didn't say much, but she said it loud

Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead, your king is through
She's not coming back to you

(crowd:)
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina peron
Ad te clamamus exules filii eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia

(eva:)
Don't cry for me argentina
For i am ordinary, unimportant
And undeserving of such attention
Unless we all are, i think we all are
So share my glory, so share my coffin
So share my glory, so share my coffin

(che:)
It's our funeral too

(che:)
In june of forty-three there was a military coup
Behind it was a gang called the g.o.u.
Who did not feel the need to be elected

They had themselves a party at the point of a gun
They were slightly to the right of atilla the hun
A bomb or two and very few objected

Yeah, just one shell and governments fall like flies, kapow, die
They stumble and fall, bye bye
Backs to the wall, aim high
We're having a ball
The tank and bullet rule as democracy dies

The lady's got potential, she was setting her sights
On making it in movies with her name in lights
The greatest social climber since cinderella

Ok, she couldn't act but she had the right friends
And we all know a career depends
On knowing the right fella to be stellar

Yeah, just one shell and governments lose their nerve, kapow, die
They stumble and fall, bye bye
Backs to the wall, aim high
We're having a ball
That's how we get the government we deserve

Now the man behind the president calling the shots
Involved so discreetly in a lot of their plots
Was colonel juan peron, would be dictator

He began in the army out in italy so
Saw mussolini's rise from the very front row
I reckon he'd do likewise sooner or later

Yeah, just one blast and the tear gas falls like rain, kapow, die
They haven't a chance, bye bye
The terrorists advance
But one guy doesn't dirty his hands
Peron was biding time out in the slow lane

Yeah, suddenly an earthquake hit the town of san juan, kapow, die
They stumble and fall, bye bye
Keep away from the wall
But one guy was having a ball
The tragedy, a golden chance for peron

He organized a concert with incredible flair
In aid of all the victims, such a grand affair
Politicians, actors, stars of every flavor

It was january twenty-second, 1944
A night to remember, yeah, that's for sure
For that's the night that peron first met eva
For that's the night that peron first met eva

(che:)
Now eva peron had every disadvantage
You need if you're gonna succeed
No money, no cash
No father, no bright lights
There was nowhere she'd been
At the age of fifteen

As this tango singer found out
Agustin magaldi
Who has the distinction of being the first
Man to be of use to eva duarte

(magaldi:)
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays for evermore

In the glow of those twinkling lights
We shall love through eternity
On this night in a million nights
Fly away with me

I never dreamed that a kiss could be as sweet as this
But now i know that it can
I used to wander alone without a love of my own
I was a desperate man
But all my grief disappeared and all the sorrow i'd feared
Wasn't there anymore
On that magical day when you first came my way
Mi amor

On this night
On this night
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays for evermore

(from revelation 1:3)
Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy
And blessed are those who hear
And who keep what is written therein
For the time is near

(from revelation 1:7)
He is coming with the clouds
And every eye will see him
Everyone who pierced him
And all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him

(from revelation 2:1-4)
Those of you who have not learned what some call the deep things of satan
I know your works, i know your toil, and your patient endurance
And how you cannot hear evil men
But have tested those who call themselves apostles, but are not
And found them to be false
I know that you are enduring patiently and bearing out for my namesake
And you have not grown weary
But i have this against you
That you have abandoned the love you had

(from revelation 2:9-10)
I know your tribulation and your poverty
And the slander of those who say that they are jews, but they are not
They are a synagogue of satan
Do not fear what you are about to suffer
Behold the devil is about to throw you into prison

Wanting, needing, waiting for you to justify my love
Hoping, praying for you to justify my love

(from revelation 13:1-10)
And i saw a beast rising out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads
And a blasphemous name upon its head
And the beast that i saw was like a leopard
Its feet were like a bear's
And its mouth was like a lion's mouth
And to it the dragon gave his power, and his throne, and great authority
One of his heads had a mortal wound
But it seemed to have a mortal wound that was healed
And the whole earth followed the beast with wonder

Men worshipped the dragon for he had given his authority to the beast
And they worshipped the beast saying
"who is like the beast and who can fight against the beast?"
And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words
And it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months
It opened its mouth to utter blasphemous words against god

It was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer
And authority was given it over every tribe
And a people and tongue and nation
And all who dwell on earth could worship it in vain
If anyone has an ear let him hear
If anyone is to be taken captive, into captivity he will go
If anyone who slays with the sword, with the sword

Wanting, needing, waiting for you to justify my love
Hoping

(from revelation 21:1-8)
Then, i saw a new heaven and a new earth
And i heard a great voice from the throne saying:
"behold the dwelling of god is with men
He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people
And god himself will be with them
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes
And death shall be no more
Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore
For these things will have passed away

To the thirsty i will give water without price
From the fountain of the water of life
He who conquers shall have this heritage
And i will be his god and he shall be my son

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted
As for the murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolators, and all liars
Their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone."

(from revelation 22:10-13)
And he said to me, he said to me:
"do not seal up the words of the prophecy, for the time is near
Let the evildoers still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy
And the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy
Behold, i am coming soon
I am the alpha and the omega
The first and the last
The beginning and the end."

Amen

What are you gonna do?

(peron has just won a sweeping victory in the 1946 presidential
Election. this is the first public appearance by peron and eva
Since that triumph.)

(peron:)
Argentinos, argentinos
We are all workers now
Fighting against our common enemies
Poverty, social injustice
Foreign domination of our industries
Reaching for our common goals
Our independence, our dignity, our pride

Let the world know that our great nation is awakening
And that its heart beats in the humble bodies
Of juan peron and his wife
The first lady of argentina, eva duarte de peron

(crowd chanting:)
[evita evita ... ]

(eva:) colonel peron
(peron:) eva duarte

(eva and peron:)
I've heard so much about you

(eva and peron:)
I'm amazed, for i'm only an actress [a soldier]
Nothing to shout about [one of the thousands]
Only a girl on the air [defending the country he loves]

(eva:)
But when you act, the things you do affect us all

(peron:)
But when you act, you take us away from the squalor of the real world
Are you here on your own?

(eva:)
Yes, oh yes

(peron:)
So am i, what a fortunate coincidence
Maybe you're my reward for my efforts here tonight

(eva:)
It seems crazy but you must believe
There's nothing calculated, nothing planned
Please forgive me if i seem naive
I would never want to force your hand
But please understand, i'd be good for you

I don't always rush in like this
Twenty seconds after saying hello
Telling strangers i'm too good to miss
If i'm wrong i hope you'll tell me so
But you really should know, i'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you

I won't go on if i'm boring you
But do you understand my point of view?
Do you like what you hear, what you see
And would you be, good for me too?

I'm not talking of a hurried night
A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that i caught your eye
Which has to imply, i'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you

(peron:)
Please go on, you enthrall me
I can understand you perfectly
And i like what i hear, what i see, and knowing me
I would be good for you too

(eva:)
I'm not talking of a hurried night
A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that i caught your eye
Which has to imply, i'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you

Chorus:

I've got the moves baby, you got the motion
If we got together we'd be causing a commotion
I've got the moves baby, you got the motion
If we got together we'd be causing a commotion

You met your match when you met me
I know that you will disagree it's crazy
But opposites attract you'll see
And i won't let you get away so easy

The love you save may be your own
Can't fight this feeling, aren't you tired of being alone
You won't admit it but you know it's true
It's not a secret how i feel when i stand next to you

(chorus)

Someday you'll see my point of view
You can't keep wishing on the stars baby
What works for me can work for you
You've got to make a compromise and maybe

Then we can keep our love alive
And when it falls we won't let it die
It doesn't matter if you win or lose
It's how you play the game so get into the groove

(chorus)

Causing a commotion, causing a commotion
Causing a commotion, causing a commotion

Intermediate:

I hope you find what you're looking for
Is it mine, walk through that door
We're wasting time, make up your mind
And get into the groove

Then we can keep our love alive
And when it falls we won't let it die
It doesn't matter if you win or lose
It's how you play the game so get into the groove

(intermediate)
(chorus)

Causing a commotion, causing a commotion
Causing a commotion, causing a commotion

(chorus)

(eva:)
To think that a man as famous as you are
Could love a poor little nothing like me

Chorus:

(eva:)
I wanna be a part of b.a.
Buenos aires, big apple
(eva's family:)
She wants to be a part of b.a.
Buenos aires, big apple

(che:)
Just listen to that, they're on to you magaldi
I'd get out while you can

(eva:)
It's happened at last, i'm starting to get started
I'm moving out with my man

(magaldi:)
Now eva don't get carried away

(eva:)
Monotony past, suburbia departed
Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond?

(magaldi:)
Don't hear words that i didn't say

(eva's family:)
What's that? you'd desert the girl you love?

(magaldi:)
The girl i love?
What are you talking about?

(eva's family:)
She really brightened up your out-of-town engagement
She gave you all she had, she wasn't in your contract
You must be quite relieved that noone's told the papers, so far

(eva:)
I wanna be a part of b.a.
Buenos aires, big apple

Would i have done what i did
If i hadn't thought, if i hadn't known
We would stay together

(eva's brother:)
Seems to me there's no point in resisting
She's made up her mind, you've no choice
Why don't you be the man who discovered her
You'll never be remembered for your voice

(magaldi:)
The city can be paradise for those who have the cash
The class and the connections, what you need to make a splash
The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash
If you were rich or middle class ...

(eva:)
Screw the middle classes! i will never accept them!
My father's other family were middle class
And we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral.

(eva's brother:)
Do all your one night stands give you this trouble?

(magaldi:)
Eva beware of the city
It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, it is mad
Those who are fools are swallowed up whole
And those who are not become what they should not become
Changed, in short, they go bad.

(eva:)
Bad is good for me
I'm bored, so clean, and so ignored
I've only been predictable, respectable
Birds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can't i?
I only want variety, of society

(chorus)

(magaldi:)
Five years from now i shall come back
And finally say, "you have your way, come to town."
But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes
The magical city, a younger girl's city
A fantasy long since put down

(eva:)
All you've done to me, was that a young girl's fantasy?
I played your city games alright, didn't i?
I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks
I tasted it last night, didn't i?

I'm gonna be a part of b.a.
Buenos aires, big apple

(eva and family:)
She's gonna be a part of b.a.
Buenos aires, big apple

(magaldi:)
Eva beware your ambition
It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, will run wild
This in a man is danger enough, but you are a woman
Not even a woman, not very much more than a child
And whatever you say, i'll not steal you away

(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.

Lo que siente la mujer


Deliciosa
Labio suave y rosa... baby
Piel de miel, dulce y silenciosa

Te parece confundida
Su pasion esta escondida
Nunca sabes lo que va decir
Cuando empieza a sonreir

Quieres ver lo que siente la mujer
Quieres ver y tratar de comprender...la mujer

Seductora, pero nunca facil...baby
Misteriosamente dura y fragil
Lagrimas que no te enseña
Su dolor no deja huella
No la trates ya de impresionar
Solo dejate llevar

Quieres ver lo que siente la mujer
Quieres ver y tratar de comprender...la mujer
Quieres ver lo que siente la mujer
Quieres ver y tratar de comprender
Lo que siente la mujer

Te parece confundida
Su pasion esta escondida
Nunca sabes lo que va decir
Cuando empieza a sonreir

Quieres ver lo que siente la mujer
Quieres ver y tratar de comprender...la mujer
Quieres ver lo que siente la mujer
Quieres ver y tratar de comprender
La mujer...comprender...
Quieres ver
Quieres ver

Quieres ver lo que siente la mujer
Y tratar de comprender

What the woman feels

Delicious, pink and soft lip, baby
Syrup skin, sweet and silence,
She seems to you as confused
Her passion is hidden.
You never know what she's going to say
When she starts to smile.

(chorus:)
Do you want to see what the woman feels?
Do you want to? and try to comprehend the woman.

Seducer, but she is never easy, baby.
Mysteriously hard and soft,
Tear that she never shows you
Her pain doesn't ever let a clue
Don't try to impress her
Just let yourself go with the flow.

(chorus:) 2 times.

She seems to you as confused
Her passion is hidden.
You never know what she's going to say
When she starts to smile.

(chorus:)

Do you want to see what the woman feels?
Do you want to? and try to comprehend...
...the womaaaan....compreheeeend.....

(chorus:)

Do you want to see?
Do you want to see?
Do you want to see? and try to comprehend...
