(Flashback to 1934 and to a nightclub in Junin, EVA's

home town EVA DUARTE is fifteen The cabaret
is nearly over MAGALDI is singing with great gusto)

CHE
Now Eva Peron had every disadvantage you need if
You're going to succeed No money, no class, no father,
No bright lights--there was nowhere she'd been at the age
Of fifteen, as this tango singer found out
Agustin Magaldi--who has the distinction of being the
First man to be of use to Eva Duarte

MAGALDI (The final song of his act)
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays for evermore!

In the glow of those twinkling lights
We shall love through eternity
On this night in a million nights
Fly away with me!

I never dreamed that a kiss could be as sweet as this
--now I know that it can
I used to wander alone without a love of my own
I was a desperate man
But all my grief disappeared and all the sorrow I feared
Wasn't there anymore
On that magical day when you first came my way
Mi Amor!

On this night
On this night
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays for evermore!
