Jonathan Pryce---On The Balcony Of The Casa Rosada 1 

 lyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber 

 

 

 (Peron has just won a sweeping victory in the 6 Presidential 

 election. This is the first public appearance by Peron and Eva 

 since that triumph.) 

 

 (Announcer:) 

 People of Argentina 

 Your newly elected President, Juan Peron 

 

 (Crowd chanting:) 

 [Peron Peron ... ] 

 

 (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 ... ]
