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

Where do we go from here?
This isnt where we intended to be
We had it all, you believed in me
I believed in you.

Certainties disappear
What do we do for our dream to survive?
How do we keep all our passions alive
As we used to do?

bridge:

Deep un my heart i'm concealing
Things that i'm longing to say
Scared to confess what i'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away.

Chorus:

You must love me
You must love me.

why are you by my side?
How can i be any use to you now?
Give me a chance and i'll let you see how
Nothing has changed.

bridge
chorus

You must love me.

Eva: The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
She's sad for her country
Sad to be defeated by her own weak body

I want to tell the people of Argentina
I've decided I should decline
All the honors and titles you've pressed me take
For I'm contented
Let me simply go on as the women who brings her people
To the heart of Peron

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I shall not leave you
Though it may get harder for you to see me
I'm Argentina and always will be

Have I said too much
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

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

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

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

Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling on in rolling on in rolling on in rolling on in on in

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 into 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

Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling on out rolling on out rolling on out rolling on out on out

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

Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling on out rolling on out rolling on out rolling on out on out

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

Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling rolling rolling
Rolling on out rolling on out rolling on out rolling on out on out
