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
(a microphone is switched on--she is now on the air)
CROWD
Evita! Evita! Evita!
EVA
I want to tell the people of Argentina
I've decided I should decline
All the honors and titles you've pressed me to take
For I'm contented--let me simply go on
As the woman 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
