On The Balcony Of The Casa Rosada 2 lyrics

Jonathan Pryce---On The Balcony Of The Casa Rosada 2 

 lyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber 

 

 

 (Eva:) 

 Just listen to that, the voice of Argentina 

 We are adored, we are loved 

 

 (Officer:) 

 Statesmanship is more than entertaining peasants 

 

 (Eva's sister:) 

 We shall see little man 

 

 (Crowd:) 

 [Evita Peron, La Santa Peronista ... ] 

 

 (Eva:) 

 I am only a simple woman 

 Who lives to serve Peron in his noble crusade 

 To rescue his people 

 I was once as you are now, and I promise you this 

 We will take the riches from the obligarchs 

 Only for you, for all of you 

 And one day, you too will inherit these treasures 

 Descamisados, mis companeros 

 When they fire those cannons, when the crowds sing of glory 

 It is not just for Peron, but for all of us, for all of us 

 

 (Aristocrats:) 

 Things have reached a pretty pass 

 When someone pretty lower-class 

 Can be respected and admired 

 

 (Aristocrat:) 

 But our privileged class is dead 

 Look who they are calling for now
