Evita

en
00:03:05 It is my sad duty to inform you
00:03:08 that Eva Perón, spiritual leader
00:03:13 at 8:25
00:03:15 this evening.
00:05:39 - You are not welcome here.
00:05:42 They have a right to see him,
00:05:45 You are not his wife.
00:06:29 No, no! He's my papa!
00:08:34 Oh what a circus
00:08:36 Oh what a show
00:08:38 Argentina has gone to town
00:08:42 Over the death of an actress
00:08:44 Called Eva Perón
00:08:46 We've all gone crazy
00:08:50 Mourning all day and mourning all night
00:08:53 Falling over ourselves to get all
00:08:57 Of the misery right
00:09:01 Oh what an exit
00:09:03 That's how to go
00:09:06 When they're ringing your curtain down
00:09:09 Demand to be buried
00:09:11 Like Eva Perón
00:09:14 It's quite a sunset
00:09:17 And good for the country
00:09:21 We've made the front page of all
00:09:25 The world's papers today
00:09:28 But who is this Santa Evita?
00:09:31 Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
00:09:35 What kind of goddess has lived among us?
00:09:38 How will we ever get by without her?
00:09:45 She had her moments
00:09:50 The best show in town was the crowd
00:09:53 Outside the Casa Rosada
00:09:55 Crying, "Eva Perón"
00:09:58 But that's all gone now
00:10:01 As soon as the smoke
00:10:05 We're all gonna see, and how
00:10:09 She did nothing for years
00:10:40 You let down your people, Evita
00:10:43 You were supposed to have been immortal
00:10:47 That's all they wanted
00:10:48 Not much to ask for
00:10:50 But in the end you
00:10:52 Could not deliver
00:10:57 Sing, you fools, but you got it wrong
00:10:59 Enjoy your prayers
00:11:01 Your queen is dead
00:11:03 She's not coming back to you
00:11:07 Show business kept us all alive
00:11:09 Since 1 7 October 1 945
00:11:12 But the star has gone
00:11:15 That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in
00:11:17 Instead of government, we had a stage
00:11:20 Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage
00:11:22 Instead of help, we were given a crowd
00:11:24 She didn't say much, but she said it loud
00:13:20 Don't cry for me, Argentina
00:13:24 For I am ordinary
00:13:27 Unimportant
00:13:29 And undeserving
00:13:32 Of such attention
00:13:35 Unless we all are
00:13:37 I think we all are
00:13:40 So share my glory
00:13:44 So share my coffin
00:14:00 It's our funeral too
00:14:56 Senor Magaldi?
00:14:58 It's seven o' clock. You'll be late.
00:15:10 Now, Eva Perón
00:15:12 Had every disadvantage
00:15:14 You need if you're going to succeed
00:15:16 No money, no cash
00:15:18 No father, no bright lights
00:15:20 There was nowhere she'd been
00:15:22 At the age of 1 5
00:15:25 As this tango singer found out
00:15:31 Agustin Magaldi
00:15:34 Who has the distinction of being the first
00:15:37 Man to be of use
00:15:39 To Eva Duarte
00:15:53 On this night of 1 000 stars
00:15:59 Let me take you to heaven's door
00:16:03 Where the music of love's guitars
00:16:07 Plays forever more
00:16:11 In the glow of those twinkling lights
00:16:15 We shall love through eternity
00:16:20 On this night in a million nights
00:16:24 Fly away with me
00:16:29 I never dreamed that a kiss
00:16:34 Now I know that it can
00:16:38 I used to wander alone
00:16:42 I was a desperate man
00:16:47 But all my grief disappeared
00:16:49 And all the sorrow I'd feared
00:16:56 On that magical day
00:18:00 To think that a man
00:18:03 Could love a poor little nothing like me
00:18:07 I want to be a part of B.A.
00:18:20 Just listen to that
00:18:21 They're onto you, Magaldi
00:18:23 I'd get out while you can
00:18:25 It's happened at last
00:18:27 I'm starting to get started
00:18:29 I'm moving out with my man
00:18:31 Now, Eva, don't get carried away
00:18:33 Monotony passed, suburbia departed
00:18:37 Who could ever be fond
00:18:40 Don't hear words that I didn't say
00:18:43 What's that?
00:18:44 You desert the girl you love?
00:18:46 The girl I love?
00:18:49 What are you talking about?
00:18:51 She really brightened up
00:18:57 She gave you all she had
00:19:04 You must be quite relieved
00:19:06 That no one's told the papers
00:19:09 So far
00:19:11 I want to be a part of B.A.
00:19:19 Would I have done
00:19:21 What I did
00:19:24 If I hadn't thought
00:19:27 If I hadn't known
00:19:30 We would stay together?
00:19:53 Seems to me there's no point in resisting
00:19:57 She's made up her mind,
00:20:00 Why don't you be the man
00:20:03 You'll never be remembered for your voice
00:20:07 The city can be paradise
00:20:09 For those who have the cash
00:20:13 The class and the connections
00:20:16 What you need to make a splash
00:20:19 The likes of you get swept up
00:20:22 In the morning with the trash
00:20:26 If you were rich or middle class...
00:20:28 Screw the middle classes
00:20:31 I will never accept them
00:20:34 My father's other family were middle class
00:20:38 And we were kept out of sight
00:20:40 Hidden from view at his funeral
00:20:43 Do all your one night stands
00:20:46 Give you this trouble?
00:20:52 Eva, beware of the city
00:20:55 It's hungry and cold
00:20:58 Can't be controlled
00:20:59 It is mad
00:21:01 Those who are fools
00:21:06 And those who are not become
00:21:08 What they should not become
00:21:10 Changed, in short they go bad
00:21:12 Bad is good for me
00:21:14 I'm bored, so clean and so ignored
00:21:16 I've only been predictable, respectable
00:21:19 Birds fly out of here
00:21:23 I only want variety of society
00:21:27 I want to be a part of B.A.
00:21:37 Five years from now I shall come back
00:21:41 And finally say
00:21:45 Come to town
00:21:47 But you'll look at me
00:21:51 The magical city
00:21:53 A younger girl's city
00:21:55 A fantasy long since put down
00:21:58 All you've done to me
00:22:01 I played your city games all right, didn't l?
00:22:04 I already know what cooks
00:22:06 How the dirty city feels and looks
00:22:08 I tasted it last night, didn't l?
00:22:22 Eva, beware your ambition
00:22:26 It's hungry and cold
00:22:28 Can't be controlled, will run wild
00:22:32 This in a man is danger enough
00:22:35 But you are a woman
00:22:38 Not even a woman
00:22:39 Not very much more than a child
00:22:42 And whatever you say
00:23:27 What's new, Buenos Aires?
00:23:31 I'm new
00:23:34 You'll be on me too
00:23:37 I get out here, Buenos Aires
00:23:42 Stand back
00:23:43 You oughta know
00:23:45 Just a little touch of star quality
00:23:53 Fill me up with your heat
00:23:57 Let me dance to your beat
00:24:02 Don't hold back
00:24:05 Tell the driver this is where I'm staying
00:24:13 Get this! Just look at me
00:24:16 We'll put on a show
00:24:23 Take me in at your flood, give me speed
00:24:27 Shoot me up with your blood
00:24:29 Watch me coming
00:24:32 All I want is a whole lot of excess
00:24:35 Tell the singer this is where I'm playing
00:24:40 Stand back, Buenos Aires
00:24:43 Because you oughta know
00:24:47 Just a little touch of star quality
00:24:51 And
00:24:54 If ever I go to far
00:24:57 It's because of the things you are
00:25:02 Beautiful town
00:25:05 I love you
00:25:07 And
00:25:10 If I need a moment's rest
00:25:13 Give your lover the very best
00:25:17 Real eiderdown
00:25:21 And silence
00:26:28 You're a tramp, you're a treat
00:26:31 You are shoddy
00:26:32 But you're flesh, you are meat
00:26:37 Put me down for a lifetime of success
00:26:40 Give me credit, I'll find ways of paying
00:26:45 Rio de la Plata
00:26:48 Florida, Corrientes, Nueve de Julio
00:26:52 All I want to know
00:28:02 I don't expect my love affairs
00:28:05 To last for long
00:28:09 Never fool myself
00:28:13 That my dreams will come true
00:28:17 Being used to trouble
00:28:20 I anticipate it
00:28:25 But all the same I hate it
00:28:28 Wouldn't you?
00:28:31 So what happens now?
00:28:33 Another suitcase in another hall
00:28:37 Take your picture off another wall
00:28:39 - Where am I going to?
00:29:01 Time and time again
00:29:03 I've said that
00:29:05 I don't care
00:29:08 That I'm immune to gloom
00:29:12 That I'm hard through and through
00:29:16 But every time it matters
00:29:19 All my words desert me
00:29:23 So anyone can hurt me
00:29:28 And they do
00:29:30 So what happens now?
00:29:33 Another suitcase in another hall
00:29:36 Take your picture off another wall
00:29:40 You'll get by you always have before
00:29:42 Where am I going to?
00:30:38 Call in three months time
00:30:41 And I'll be fine
00:30:44 I know
00:30:46 Well, maybe not that fine
00:30:49 But I'll survive anyhow
00:30:53 I won't recall the names and places
00:30:57 Of each sad occasion
00:31:01 But that's no consolation
00:31:05 Here and now
00:31:19 Where am I going to?
00:31:23 Don't ask any more
00:33:00 Good night and thank you, whoever
00:33:02 She's in every magazine
00:33:06 She is known
00:33:08 We don't like to rush
00:33:11 If she's missed anything
00:33:14 But she won't always answer the phone
00:33:18 Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies
00:33:21 But we have pretended enough
00:33:24 It's best that we both
00:33:27 Which means...!
00:33:31 There is no one, no one at all
00:33:34 Never has been and never will be a lover,
00:33:39 Who hasn't an eye on
00:33:41 In fact they rely on tricks
00:33:46 They're hoping their lover
00:33:49 Support them, promote them
00:33:51 Don't blame them
00:34:08 Good night and thank you, Emilio
00:34:11 You've completed your task
00:34:13 What more can we ask of you now?
00:34:16 Please sign the book
00:34:19 And that will be all
00:34:22 But I don't think that's likely somehow
00:34:25 Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies
00:34:29 But when we were hot
00:34:32 I know you'll look back
00:34:35 Which means...!
00:34:39 There is no one, no one at all
00:34:41 Never has been
00:34:45 Male or female
00:34:47 Who hasn't an eye on
00:34:51 Tricks they can try on their partner
00:34:54 They're hoping their lover
00:34:57 Support them, promote them
00:34:59 Don't blame her
00:35:02 There is no soap
00:35:05 No detergent, lotion or oil
00:35:09 In the shower
00:35:11 It's the mother and father
00:35:13 Of luxury lather
00:35:15 The talk of the bath
00:35:18 One little frolic
00:35:20 You're scented
00:35:23 You'll be sent
00:35:31 Good night and thank you, Senor Jabón
00:35:33 We are grateful
00:35:35 You found her a spot on the sound radio
00:35:39 We'll think of you
00:35:42 We'd love you to stay
00:35:45 So do up your trousers and go
00:35:55 Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies
00:35:58 The decline into silence and doubt
00:36:01 Our passion was just too intense to survive
00:36:05 Which means...!
00:36:08 This is a club I should never have joined
00:36:11 Someone has made us look fools
00:36:15 Argentine men call the sexual shots
00:36:18 Someone has altered the rules
00:36:21 Fame on the wireless as far as it goes
00:36:24 Is all very well, but every girl knows
00:36:28 She needs a man she can monopolise
00:36:31 With fingers in dozens of different pies
00:37:14 In June of '43
00:37:16 There was a military coup
00:37:18 Behind it was a gang called
00:37:20 The G.O.U.
00:37:22 Who did not feel
00:37:23 The need to be elected
00:37:29 They had themselves a party
00:37:32 They were slightly to the right
00:37:36 A bomb or two
00:37:43 Just one shell
00:37:44 And governments fall like flies
00:37:48 Ka-pow, die
00:37:52 Bye-bye
00:37:55 Aim high
00:37:58 The tank and bullet ruled
00:38:14 The lady's got potential
00:38:18 On making it in movies
00:38:21 The greatest social climber
00:38:29 OK, she couldn't act
00:38:32 And we all know
00:38:35 On knowing the right fella
00:38:38 To be stellar
00:38:43 Just one shell
00:38:58 That's how we get
00:39:14 Now, the man behind the president
00:39:17 Involved so discreetly
00:39:21 Was Colonel Juan Perón
00:39:23 Would-be dictator
00:39:28 He began in the army out in ltaly so
00:39:34 Saw Mussolini's rise
00:39:35 And reckoned he'd do likewise
00:39:38 Sooner or later
00:39:42 Just one blast
00:39:49 They haven't a chance
00:39:52 The terrorists advance
00:39:54 But one guy doesn't dirty his hands
00:39:58 Perón was biding time out
00:40:00 In the slow lane
00:40:08 Suddenly an earthquake hit
00:40:11 The town of San Juan
00:40:15 They stumble and fall
00:40:19 Keep away from the wall
00:40:21 But one guy
00:40:22 Was having a ball
00:40:24 The tragedy a golden chance for Perón
00:40:36 He organised a concert
00:40:40 In aid of all the victims
00:40:43 Politicians, actors
00:40:50 It was January 22, 1 944
00:40:54 A night to remember, that's for sure
00:40:57 For that's the night
00:41:15 On this night
00:41:21 On this night
00:41:27 On this night of 1 000 stars
00:41:32 Let me take you to heaven's door
00:41:36 Where the music of love's guitars
00:41:42 Plays for evermore
00:42:26 Your act hasn't changed much
00:42:31 Neither has yours
00:42:55 I stand here
00:43:02 As we come together
00:43:06 You've shown by your presence
00:43:08 Your deeds and applause
00:43:11 What the people can do
00:43:14 True power is yours
00:43:18 Unless it represents
00:43:22 The people
00:43:44 One always picks
00:43:47 The easy fight
00:43:49 One praises fools
00:43:52 One smothers light
00:43:56 One shifts
00:43:59 From left to right
00:44:02 Politics
00:44:04 The art of the possible
00:44:45 I've heard so much about you
00:44:51 I'm amazed
00:44:53 - For I'm only an actress
00:44:56 - Nothing to shout about
00:44:58 - Only a girl on the air
00:45:07 But when you act
00:45:08 The things you do affect us all
00:45:14 But when you act
00:45:16 You take us away
00:45:22 - Are you here on your own?
00:45:28 So am I
00:45:30 What a fortunate coincidence
00:45:33 Maybe you're my reward
00:45:36 For my efforts here tonight
00:45:40 It seems crazy
00:45:42 But you must believe
00:45:46 There's nothing calculated
00:45:48 Nothing planned
00:45:51 Please forgive me
00:45:52 If I seem naive
00:45:55 I would never want to force your hand
00:45:59 But please understand I'd be good for you
00:46:05 I don't always rush in like this
00:46:10 20 seconds after saying hello
00:46:15 Telling strangers I'm too good to miss
00:46:20 If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so
00:46:24 But you really should know
00:46:29 I'd be surprisingly good for you
00:46:43 I won't go on if I'm boring you
00:46:47 But do you understand my point of view
00:46:52 Do you like what you hear
00:46:54 And would you be
00:46:58 Good for me too?
00:47:05 I'm not talking of a hurried night
00:47:09 A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye
00:47:14 Creeping home before it gets too light
00:47:19 That's not the reason
00:47:23 Which has to imply I'd be good for you
00:48:01 Please go on. You enthral me
00:48:05 I can understand you perfectly
00:48:09 And I like what I hear, what I see
00:48:12 And knowing me
00:48:16 I would be good for you too
00:48:25 I'm not talking
00:48:27 Of a hurried night
00:48:30 A frantic tumble
00:48:32 Then a shy goodbye
00:48:35 Creeping home before it gets too light
00:48:39 That's not the reason
00:48:43 Which has to imply I'd be good for you
00:49:26 There is no one, no one at all
00:49:29 Never has been, and never will be a lover
00:49:33 Male or female
00:49:35 Who hasn't an eye on
00:49:38 Tricks they can try on their partner
00:49:41 They're hoping their lover
00:49:45 Support them, promote them
00:50:01 Hello and goodbye
00:50:03 I've just unemployed you
00:50:06 You can go back to school
00:50:08 You've had a good run
00:50:09 I'm sure he enjoyed you
00:50:12 Don't act sad or surprised
00:50:18 Come on, little one
00:50:23 The day you knew would arrive is here
00:50:26 You'll survive
00:50:28 So move, funny face
00:50:32 I like your conversation
00:50:36 You've a catchy turn of phrase
00:50:40 You're obviously going through
00:51:10 So what happens now?
00:51:19 Where am I going to?
00:51:21 You'll get by, you always have before
00:51:27 Don't ask any more
00:52:12 At the watering-holes
00:52:15 Of the well-to-do
00:52:18 I detect a resistance to
00:52:21 Precisely
00:52:22 Our heroine's style
00:52:24 We're glad you noticed
00:52:26 The shooting sticks
00:52:29 Of the upper class
00:52:31 Give her an inch...
00:52:33 Aren't supporting a single ass
00:52:36 That would rise for the girl
00:52:38 ...She'll take a mile
00:52:40 Such a shame she wandered
00:52:44 Into our enclosure
00:52:47 How unfortunate this person
00:52:51 Has forced us to be blunt
00:52:54 No, we wouldn't mind
00:52:59 Seeing her at Harrods
00:53:01 But behind the jewellery counter
00:53:06 Not in front
00:53:10 Could there be
00:53:13 In our fighting corps
00:53:17 A lack of enthusiasm for
00:53:20 Perón's latest flame?
00:53:22 You said it, brother
00:53:25 Should you wish
00:53:28 To cause great distress
00:53:31 In the tidiest officer's mess
00:53:35 Just mention her name
00:53:37 That isn't funny
00:53:39 Perón is a fool, breaking every taboo
00:53:42 Installing the girl in the army H.Q.
00:53:46 And she's an actress, the last straw
00:53:50 Her only good parts
00:53:54 She should stare at the ceiling
00:53:57 Or she could be his last whore
00:54:01 The evidence suggests
00:54:04 She has other interests
00:54:08 If it's her that's using him
00:54:11 He's exceptionally dim
00:54:20 Dangerous Jade
00:54:23 We have allowed ourselves to slip
00:54:26 We have completely lost our grip
00:54:29 We have declined to an all-time low
00:54:33 Tarts have become the set to know
00:54:36 I'm only a radio star
00:54:41 But speaking as one of the people
00:54:44 I want you to know
00:54:47 We are tired of
00:54:49 The decline of Argentina
00:54:52 With no sign of
00:54:54 A government
00:54:59 It's no crime for officers
00:55:03 As long as they're discreet
00:55:06 We ignore, we disregard
00:55:10 But once they allow a bit on the side
00:55:14 To move to the centre
00:55:17 We are forced to mark his card
00:55:21 She should get into her head
00:55:25 She should not get out of bed
00:55:28 She should know that she's not paid
00:55:32 To be loud, but to be laid
00:55:35 Slut
00:55:41 Dangerous Jade
00:55:45 This has really been your year
00:55:48 Tell us where you go from here
00:55:52 Which are the roles that you yearn to play?
00:55:55 Whom did you sleep...dine with
00:55:58 Acting is limiting
00:56:01 That's no help to the Argentine
00:56:04 Can we assume then that you'll quit?
00:56:07 Is this because of your involvement
00:56:11 With Colonel Perón?
00:56:15 She won't be kept happy
00:56:18 She says it's his body
00:56:20 But she's after his files
00:56:22 So get back onto the street
00:56:25 She should get into her head
00:56:29 She should not get out of bed
00:56:33 She should know that she's not paid
00:56:36 To be loud, but to be laid
00:56:40 The evidence suggests
00:56:43 She has other interests
00:56:47 If it's her that's using him
00:56:51 He's exceptionally dim
00:56:54 Things have reached a pretty pass
00:56:57 When someone pretty lower class
00:57:01 Graceless and vulgar, uninspired
00:57:05 Can be accepted and admired
00:57:27 Dice are rolling
00:57:31 Would-be presidents are all around
00:57:34 I don't say they mean harm
00:57:40 To see us six feet underground
00:57:47 It doesn't matter
00:57:49 What those morons say
00:57:52 Our nation's leaders are a feeble crew
00:57:57 There's only 20 of them anyway
00:58:02 What is 20 next to millions who
00:58:05 Are looking to you?
00:58:11 All you have to do is sit and wait
00:58:16 Keeping out of everybody's way
00:58:20 We'll... You'll be handed power
00:58:24 On a plate
00:58:27 When the ones who matter
00:58:31 And with chaos installed
00:58:36 You can reluctantly agree
00:58:39 To be called
00:58:42 There again we could be foolish
00:58:45 Not to quit while we're ahead
00:58:48 For distance lends enchantment
00:58:51 And that is why
00:58:54 All exiles
00:58:56 Are distinguished
00:58:57 More important, they're not dead
00:59:00 I could find job satisfaction in Paraguay
00:59:04 This is crazy defeatist talk
00:59:07 Why commit political suicide
00:59:10 There's no risk
00:59:16 When you have unions on your side
01:00:15 A new Argentina
01:00:18 The chains of the masses untied
01:00:27 The voice of the people
01:00:30 Cannot be denied
01:00:36 There is only one man
01:00:43 He lives for your problems
01:00:49 He supports you, for he loves you
01:00:52 Understands you, is one of you
01:00:56 If not
01:00:58 How could he love me?
01:01:02 A new Argentina
01:01:05 The workers' battle song
01:01:14 The voice of the people
01:01:17 Rings out loud and long
01:01:23 Now, I am a worker
01:01:25 I've suffered the way that you do
01:01:30 I've been unemployed
01:01:36 But I found my salvation in Perón
01:01:41 May the nation let him save them
01:01:45 As he saved me
01:01:52 A new age about to begin
01:02:01 We face the world together
01:02:04 And no dissent within
01:02:10 There again we could be foolish
01:02:13 Not to quit while we're ahead
01:02:16 I can see us many miles away, inactive
01:02:23 Sipping cocktails on a terrace
01:02:26 Taking breakfast in bed
01:02:29 Sleeping easy, doing nothing
01:02:32 It's attractive
01:02:34 Don't think I don't think like you
01:02:38 They always take some swallowing
01:02:41 Sometimes it's very difficult to keep
01:02:47 Don't close doors
01:02:51 Because we might lose
01:02:53 The Big Apple
01:02:57 But would I have done what I did
01:03:01 If I hadn't thought
01:03:03 If I hadn't known
01:03:06 We would take the country?
01:03:25 Perón has resigned from the army
01:03:31 The descamisados are those
01:03:37 He supports you, for he loves you
01:03:41 Understands you, is one of you
01:03:44 If not
01:03:46 How could he love me?
01:04:17 Release him.
01:06:31 How annoying
01:06:35 For their cause
01:06:37 The inconvenience
01:06:39 Having to get a majority
01:06:43 If normal methods of persuasion
01:06:47 Fail to win them applause
01:06:50 There are other ways
00:01:50 We are all workers now
00:01:55 Fighting against our common enemies
00:02:00 Poverty, social injustice...
00:02:05 Foreign domination of our industries
00:02:09 Reaching for our common goals
00:02:13 Our independence, our dignity
00:02:16 Our pride
00:02:21 Let the world know
00:02:23 That our great nation is awakening
00:02:29 And that its heart beats
00:02:33 Of Juan Perón
00:02:36 And his wife
00:02:37 The first lady of Argentina
00:02:41 Eva
00:02:43 Duarte
00:02:45 De Perón
00:03:57 It won't be easy
00:04:01 You'll think it strange
00:04:04 When I try to explain how I feel
00:04:10 That I still need your love
00:04:13 After all that I've done
00:04:17 You won't believe me
00:04:22 All you will see is a girl you once knew
00:04:28 Although she's dressed up to the nines
00:04:33 At sixes and sevens with you
00:04:43 I had to let it happen
00:04:47 I had to change
00:04:50 Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
00:04:57 Looking out of the window
00:05:00 Staying out of the sun
00:05:04 So I chose freedom
00:05:10 Running around
00:05:12 Trying everything new
00:05:15 But nothing
00:05:17 Impressed me at all
00:05:21 I never expected it to
00:05:30 Don't cry for me, Argentina
00:05:35 The truth is
00:05:37 I never left you
00:05:40 All through my wild days
00:05:43 My mad existence
00:05:46 I kept my promise
00:05:49 Don't keep your distance
00:05:58 And as for fortune
00:06:01 And as for fame
00:06:04 I never invited them in
00:06:10 Though it seemed to the world
00:06:13 They were all I desired
00:06:17 They are illusions
00:06:21 They're not
00:06:22 The solutions they promised to be
00:06:26 The answer was here all the time
00:06:31 I love you
00:06:33 And hope you love me
00:07:39 Have I said too much?
00:07:42 There's nothing more
00:07:53 But all you have to do is
00:07:57 Look at me to know
00:07:59 That every word is true
00:08:36 Just listen to that
00:08:37 The voice of Argentina
00:08:40 We are adored, we are loved
00:08:43 Statesmanship is more
00:08:47 We shall see, little man
00:09:19 I am only a simple woman
00:09:22 who lives to serve Perón
00:09:24 in his noble crusade to rescue his people.
00:09:29 I was once as you are now,
00:09:31 and I promise you this,
00:09:34 we will take the riches from the oligarchs.
00:09:37 Only for you, for all of you.
00:09:40 And one day
00:09:51 When they fire those cannons,
00:09:53 when crowds sing of glory,
00:09:58 but for all of us! For all of us!
00:10:06 Things have reached a pretty pass
00:10:09 When someone pretty lower class
00:10:12 Can be respected and admired
00:10:18 But our privileged class is dead
00:10:23 Look who they are calling for now
00:11:32 High flying, adored
00:11:35 So young, the instant queen
00:11:39 A rich, beautiful thing
00:11:43 Of all the talents a cross between
00:11:47 A fantasy of the bedroom
00:11:51 And a saint
00:11:55 You were just a back street girl
00:11:59 Hustling and fighting
00:12:01 Scratching and biting
00:12:03 High flying, adored
00:12:07 Did you believe in your wildest moments
00:12:11 All this would be yours
00:12:14 That you'd become the lady of them all?
00:12:20 Were there stars in your eyes
00:12:24 When you crawled in at night
00:12:28 From the bars, from the sidewalks
00:12:32 From the gutter theatrical?
00:12:36 Don't look down
00:12:38 It's a long, long way to fall
00:12:52 What happens now?
00:12:53 Where do you go from here?
00:12:55 For someone on top of the world
00:12:59 The view is not exactly clear
00:13:03 A shame you did it all
00:13:07 At 26
00:13:12 There are no mysteries now
00:13:15 Nothing can thrill you
00:13:19 High flying, adored
00:13:23 I hope you come to terms with boredom
00:13:27 So famous, so easily
00:13:30 So soon
00:13:32 Is not the wisest thing to be
00:13:36 You won't care if they love you
00:13:40 It's been done before
00:13:43 You'll despair
00:13:45 If they hate you
00:13:48 You'll be drained of all energy
00:13:52 All the young who've made it
00:13:56 Would agree
00:14:04 High flying, adored
00:14:07 That's good to hear, but unimportant
00:14:12 My story's quite usual
00:14:16 Local girl
00:14:17 Makes good, weds famous man
00:14:21 I was slap in the right place
00:14:25 At the perfect time
00:14:28 Filled a gap, I was lucky
00:14:33 But one thing I'll say for me
00:14:37 No one else can fill it like I can
00:14:53 There again I've more to do
00:14:55 Than simply get the message through
00:14:58 Let's get this show on the road
00:15:01 Let's make it obvious
00:15:03 Perón is off and rolling
00:15:07 Eyes, hair
00:15:08 Mouth, figure
00:15:09 Dress, voice
00:15:10 Style, movement
00:15:12 Hands, magic
00:15:13 Rings, glamour
00:15:15 Face, diamonds
00:15:17 I came from the people
00:15:19 They need to adore me
00:15:21 So Christian Dior me
00:15:24 From my head to my toes
00:15:26 I need to be dazzling
00:15:28 I want to be rainbow high
00:15:32 They must have excitement
00:15:34 And so must I
00:15:40 I'm their product, it's vital to sell me
00:15:43 So Machiavell me
00:15:48 I need to be thrilling
00:15:51 I want to be rainbow high
00:15:55 They need their escape, and so do I
00:16:10 All my descamisados expect me
00:16:14 I won't disappoint them
00:16:17 I'm their saviour
00:16:20 That's what they call me
00:16:22 So Lauren Bacall me
00:16:26 To make me fantastic
00:16:28 I have to be rainbow high
00:16:33 In magical colours
00:16:36 You're not decorating a girl
00:16:38 For a night on the town
00:16:41 And I'm not a second-rate queen
00:16:44 Getting kicks with a crown
00:16:47 Next stop will be Europe
00:16:52 The Rainbow's gonna tour
00:17:02 Look out, mighty Europe
00:17:06 Because you ought to know
00:17:21 People of Europe
00:17:24 I send you the Rainbow of Argentina
00:17:46 Spain has fallen to the charms of Evita
00:17:52 She can do what she likes
00:17:55 She's our lady of the New World
00:18:00 She filled a bull ring
00:18:04 But if you're prettier than General Franco
00:18:08 That's not hard
00:18:12 Franco's reign in Spain
00:18:15 Should see out the '40s
00:18:19 So you've just acquired an ally
00:18:22 Who looks as secure in his job as you
00:18:25 But more important
00:18:27 Current political thought is
00:18:31 Your wife's a phenomenal asset
00:18:34 Your trump card
00:18:37 Let's hear it for the Rainbow tour
00:18:40 It's been an incredible success
00:18:44 We weren't quite sure
00:18:48 Will Evita win through?
00:18:50 But the answer is yes
00:18:52 There you are, I told you so
00:18:56 Makes no difference where she goes
00:19:00 The whole world over, just the same
00:19:04 Just listen to them call her name
00:19:07 And who would underestimate
00:19:11 The actress now?
00:19:15 Now, I don't like to spoil a wonderful story
00:19:20 But the news from Rome
00:19:24 She hasn't gone down
00:19:28 Italy's unconvinced
00:19:30 By Argentine glory
00:19:32 They equate Perón with Mussolini
00:19:36 Can't think why
00:19:42 Did you hear that?
00:19:46 They actually called me a whore
00:19:48 But Senora Perón
00:19:50 It's an easy mistake
00:19:52 I'm still called an admiral
00:19:54 Yet I gave up the sea long ago
00:20:00 More bad news from Rome
00:20:02 She met with the Pope
00:20:05 She only got a rosary
00:20:07 A kindly word
00:20:09 I wouldn't say the Holy Father
00:20:13 But Papal decorations
00:20:16 Never a hope
00:20:18 She still looked the part at St. Peter's
00:20:44 Eva started well, no question, in France
00:20:50 Shining like a sun
00:20:53 A beautiful reminder of the carefree days
00:20:57 She nearly captured the French
00:20:59 She sure had the chance
00:21:02 But she suddenly seemed to lose interest
00:21:06 She looked tired
00:21:10 Face the facts
00:21:12 The Rainbow started to fade
00:21:15 I don't think
00:21:19 It wasn't on the schedule anyhow
00:21:23 You'd better get out the flags
00:21:25 And fix a parade
00:21:29 Some kind of
00:21:34 Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour
00:21:38 It's been an incredible success
00:21:41 We weren't quite sure
00:21:43 We had a few doubts
00:21:46 Would Evita win through?
00:21:48 And the answer is yes
00:21:49 And no
00:22:30 Thus all fairy stories end
00:22:33 Only an actress would pretend
00:22:36 Affairs of state are her latest play
00:22:40 Eight shows a week, two matinees
00:22:44 My, how the world begins to turn
00:22:48 When will the chorus girl ever learn?
00:23:27 The chorus girl
00:23:29 Hasn't learned the lines
00:23:34 She won't go scrambling
00:23:37 Over the backs of the poor
00:23:40 To be accepted
00:23:44 By making donations
00:23:46 Just large enough
00:23:49 To the correct charity
00:23:53 She won't be president
00:23:56 Of your wonderful societies of philanthropy
00:24:03 Even if you asked her to be
00:24:07 As you should have asked her to be
00:24:13 The actress hasn't learned the lines
00:24:16 You'd like to hear
00:24:20 She won't join your clubs
00:24:24 She won't dance in your halls
00:24:27 She won't help the hungry once a month
00:24:31 At your tombolas
00:24:33 She'll simply take control
00:24:37 As you disappear
00:24:49 Forgive my intrusion
00:24:52 But fine as those sentiments sound
00:24:56 Little has changed for us peasants
00:25:00 Down here on the ground
00:25:05 I hate to sound childish, ungrateful
00:25:09 I don't like to moan
00:25:12 But do you now represent
00:25:15 Anyone's cause but your own?
00:25:20 Everything done
00:25:22 Will be justified by my foundation
00:25:28 And the money kept rolling in
00:25:31 From every side
00:25:45 Eva's pretty hands reached out
00:25:48 Now you may feel it should have been
00:25:51 A voluntary cause
00:25:53 But that's not the point, my friends
00:25:57 When the money keeps rolling in
00:26:01 Think of all the people
00:26:04 Eva has called the hungry to her
00:26:07 Opened up the doors
00:26:10 Never been a fund
00:26:14 Rolling, rolling, rolling
00:26:22 Rolling on in
00:26:30 Would you like to try a college education?
00:26:34 Own your landlord's house
00:26:38 Eva and her blessed fund
00:26:40 Can make your dreams come true
00:26:43 Here's all you have to do, my friends
00:26:46 Write your name and your dream
00:26:50 Throw it high in the air
00:26:54 She will change your way of life
00:26:56 For a week or even two
00:26:59 Name me anyone
00:27:18 The money kept rolling out in all directions
00:27:22 To the poor, to the weak
00:27:26 Now, cynics claim
00:27:31 But that's not the point, my friends
00:27:35 When the money keeps rolling out
00:27:38 You can tell you've done well
00:27:42 Accountants only slow things down
00:27:45 Figures get in the way
00:27:47 Never been a lady
00:29:32 Perón is everything.
00:29:35 He's the soul,
00:29:36 the nerve,
00:29:38 the hope and the reality
00:29:42 We all know
00:29:44 that there is only one man in our
00:29:49 we all feed from his light,
00:30:39 And now she wants to be
00:30:42 Vice-president
00:30:47 That was the over-the-top
00:30:52 We didn't approve
00:30:56 The games of the wife of the president
00:31:01 But to give her intentions
00:31:04 Encouragement
00:31:06 She's out of her depth
00:31:08 And out of the question
00:31:18 But on the other hand
00:31:20 She's all they have
00:31:23 She's a diamond in their
00:31:25 Dull, grey lives
00:31:28 And that's the hardest kind of stone
00:31:31 It usually survives
00:31:34 And when you think about it...
00:31:37 Can you recall
00:31:39 The last time they loved
00:31:42 Anyone at all?
00:31:46 She's not a bauble
00:31:48 You can brush aside
00:31:51 She's been out doing
00:31:53 What we just talked about
00:31:55 Example: gave us back our businesses
00:31:59 Got the English out
00:32:02 And when you think about it...
00:32:05 Well, why not do
00:32:08 One or two of the things
00:32:10 We promised to?
00:32:14 But on the other hand
00:32:17 She's slowing down
00:32:19 She's lost a little of that magic drive
00:32:24 But I would not advise those critics present
00:32:28 To derive
00:32:30 Any satisfaction from her fading star
00:32:36 She's the one who's kept us
00:32:39 Where we are
00:32:43 She's the one who's kept you
00:32:47 Where you are
00:35:12 Turn a blind eye, Evita
00:35:46 Please, gentle Eva
00:35:51 Will you bless a little child?
00:35:58 For I love you
00:36:01 Tell Heaven I'm doing my best
00:36:04 I'm praying for you
00:36:06 Even though you're already blessed
00:36:09 Please, mother Eva
00:36:15 Will you look upon me as your own?
00:36:18 Make me special
00:36:22 Be my angel, be my everything
00:36:24 Wonderful, perfect and true
00:36:27 And I'll try to be
00:36:30 Exactly like you
00:36:47 Turn a blind eye, Evita
00:37:46 Why try to govern a country
00:37:50 When you can become a saint?
00:39:25 Tell me before I waltz out of your life
00:39:29 Before turning my back on the past
00:39:32 Forgive my impertinent behaviour
00:39:36 But how long do you think
00:39:39 Tell me before I ride off in the sunset
00:39:43 There's one thing I never got clear
00:39:47 How can you claim you're our saviour
00:39:50 When those who oppose you
00:39:54 Or simply disappear?
00:39:56 Tell me before you get onto your bus
00:39:59 Before joining the forgotten brigade
00:40:03 How can one person like me, say
00:40:07 Alter the time-honoured way
00:40:10 Tell me before you get
00:40:14 Just what you expect me to do
00:40:17 I don't care what the bourgeoisie say
00:40:21 I'm not in business for them
00:40:23 But to give all my descamisados
00:40:26 A magical moment or two
00:40:29 There is evil
00:40:32 Ever around, fundamental
00:40:35 System of government quite incidental
00:40:39 So what are my chances
00:40:43 I'd say low
00:40:44 Better to win by admitting my sin
00:40:46 Than to lose with a halo
00:40:51 Tell me before I seek worthier pastures
00:40:54 And thereby restore self-esteem
00:40:57 How can you be so short-sighted
00:41:01 To look never further
00:41:04 To have no impossible dream?
00:41:08 Allow me to help you
00:41:12 I'll mark your adieu with three cheers
00:41:15 But first tell me who'd be delighted
00:41:19 If I said I'd take on
00:41:22 From war to pollution
00:41:26 Even if I lived for 1 00 years
00:41:30 There is evil
00:41:32 Ever around, fundamental
00:41:35 System of government quite incidental
00:41:39 So go, if you're able
00:41:41 To somewhere unstable
00:41:43 And stay there
00:41:44 Whip up your hate
00:41:47 But not here, dear
00:42:21 Oh what I'd give for 1 00 years
00:42:26 But the physical interferes
00:42:31 Every day more
00:42:35 Oh my creator
00:42:40 What is the good
00:42:44 Of the strongest heart
00:42:47 In a body that's falling apart?
00:42:53 A serious flaw
00:42:56 I hope you know that
00:43:31 Your little body's slowly breaking down
00:43:36 You're losing speed
00:43:37 You're losing strength
00:43:41 That goes on flourishing forever
00:43:44 But your eyes, your smile
00:43:48 Do not have the sparkle
00:43:54 If you climb one more mountain
00:43:56 It could be your last
00:44:00 I'm not that ill
00:44:02 Bad moments come
00:44:05 But they go
00:44:07 Some days are fine
00:44:10 Some a little bit harder
00:44:13 But that doesn't mean
00:44:15 We should give up our dream
00:44:18 Have you ever seen me defeated?
00:44:23 Don't you forget
00:44:25 What I've been through, and yet...
00:44:28 I'm still standing
00:44:34 Eva, you're dying
00:44:43 So what happens now?
00:44:51 Where am I going to?
00:45:00 Don't ask any more
00:45:18 Where do we go from here?
00:45:23 This isn't where we intended to be
00:45:29 We had it all
00:45:31 You believed in me
00:45:34 I believed in you
00:45:41 Certainties disappear
00:45:46 What do we do
00:45:51 How do we keep all our passions alive
00:46:02 Deep in my heart I'm concealing
00:46:07 Things that I'm longing to say
00:46:12 Scared to confess what I'm feeling
00:46:18 Frightened you'll slip away
00:46:23 You must love me
00:46:56 Why are you at my side?
00:47:02 How can I be any use to you now?
00:47:07 Give me a chance
00:47:12 Nothing has changed
00:48:15 The actress
00:48:18 Hasn't learned the lines
00:48:20 You'd like to hear
00:48:38 She's sad for her country
00:48:43 Sad to be defeated
00:48:49 By her own weak body
00:50:06 I want to tell the people
00:50:12 Of Argentina
00:50:19 I've decided
00:50:22 I should decline
00:50:27 All the honours and titles
00:50:32 You've pressed me to take
00:50:36 For I'm contented
00:50:42 Let me simply go on
00:50:45 As the woman who brings her people
00:50:53 To the heart of Perón
00:51:06 The truth is I shall not leave you
00:51:12 Though it may get harder
00:51:16 For you to see me
00:51:23 I'm Argentina
00:51:29 And always will be
00:51:43 Have I said too much?
00:51:47 There's nothing more I can think of
00:51:51 To say to you
00:51:56 But all you have to do
00:52:00 Is look at me to know
00:52:03 That every word
00:52:06 Is true
00:54:28 She had her moments
00:54:30 She had some style
00:54:33 The best show in town was the crowd
00:54:36 Outside the Casa Rosada
00:54:41 But that's all gone now
00:54:59 The choice was mine
00:55:04 And mine completely
00:55:09 I could have any prize
00:55:14 That I desired
00:55:18 I could burn
00:55:21 With the splendour
00:55:24 Of the brightest fire
00:55:33 Or else, or else I could choose time
00:55:41 Remember?
00:55:45 I was very young then
00:55:51 And a year
00:55:54 Was forever
00:55:56 And a day
00:56:02 So what use could
00:56:05 50
00:56:08 60
00:56:09 70 be?
00:56:14 I saw the lights
00:56:18 And I was on my way
00:56:27 And how I lived
00:56:35 How they shone
00:56:42 But how soon
00:56:44 The lights were gone
00:58:21 The choice was yours
00:58:24 And no one else's
00:58:28 You can cry for a body
00:58:32 In despair
00:58:36 Hang your head
00:58:39 Because she is no longer there
00:58:44 To shine, or dazzle, or betray
00:58:52 How she lived
00:58:56 How she shone
00:58:58 But how soon
00:59:01 The lights were gone
00:59:16 Eyes, hair
00:59:18 Face, image
00:59:21 All must be preserved
00:59:27 Still life displayed forever
00:59:34 No less
00:59:36 Than she deserved
