|
(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 |
