| [00:09.10] |
Oh what a circus, oh what a show |
| [00:13.21] |
Argentina has gone to town |
| [00:16.66] |
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron |
| [00:21.70] |
We've all gone crazy |
| [00:24.77] |
Mourning all day and mourning all night |
| [00:28.10] |
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right |
| [00:36.26] |
Oh what an exit, that's how to go |
| [00:41.01] |
When they're ringing your curtain down |
| [00:44.53] |
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron |
| [00:49.38] |
It's quite a sunset |
| [00:52.18] |
And good for the country in a roundabout way |
| [00:55.76] |
We've made the front page of all the world's papers today |
| [01:03.37] |
But who is this Santa Evita? |
| [01:06.58] |
Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow? |
| [01:10.12] |
What kind of goddess has lived among us? |
| [01:13.69] |
How will we ever get by without her? |
| [01:20.76] |
She had her moments, she had some style |
| [01:25.70] |
The best show in town was the crowd |
| [01:28.55] |
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron" |
| [01:33.49] |
But that's all gone now |
| [01:36.38] |
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears |
| [01:39.81] |
We're all gonna see and how |
| [01:44.24] |
She did nothing for years |
| [01:47.98] |
Salve regina mater misericordiae |
| [01:52.96] |
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra |
| [01:56.70] |
Salve salve regina |
| [02:01.08] |
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva |
| [02:07.64] |
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes |
| [02:12.05] |
O clemens o pia |
| [02:14.99] |
You let down your people Evita |
| [02:17.98] |
You were supposed to have been immortal |
| [02:21.61] |
That's all they wanted, not much to ask for |
| [02:25.32] |
But in the end you could not deliver |
| [02:31.49] |
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong |
| [02:33.88] |
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long |
| [02:36.22] |
Your queen is dead, your king is through |
| [02:38.46] |
And she's not coming back to you |
| [02:42.24] |
Show business kept us all alive |
| [02:44.41] |
Since seventeen October 1945 |
| [02:46.59] |
But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin |
| [02:49.14] |
That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in |
| [02:52.70] |
Instead of government we had a stage |
| [02:54.93] |
Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage |
| [02:57.19] |
Instead of help we were given a crowd |
| [02:59.60] |
She didn't say much, but she said it loud |
| [03:03.17] |
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong |
| [03:05.38] |
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long |
| [03:07.68] |
Your queen is dead, your king is through |
| [03:09.99] |
And she's not coming back to you |
| [03:17.74] |
Salve regina mater misericordiae |
| [03:25.69] |
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra |
| [03:32.42] |
Salve salve regina |
| [03:39.09] |
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva |
| [03:51.01] |
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes |
| [03:59.77] |
O clemens o pia |
| [04:05.41] |
|
| [04:56.14] |
Don't cry for me Argentina |
| [05:00.54] |
For I am ordinary, unimportant |
| [05:05.79] |
And undeserving of such attention |
| [05:11.09] |
Unless we all are, I think we all are |
| [05:16.43] |
So share my glory, so share my coffin |
| [05:24.73] |
So share my glory, so share my coffin |
| [05:37.00] |
It's our funeral too |
| [05:44.89] |
|
