[Che:]
2
Oh what a circus, oh what a show
3
Argentina has gone to town
4
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
5
We've all gone crazy
6
Mourning all day and mourning all night
7
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right
8
Oh what an exit, that's how to go
9
When they're ringing your curtain down
10
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
11
It's quite a sunset
12
And good for the country in a roundabout way
13
We've made the front page of all the world's papers today
14
But who is this Santa Evita?
15
Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
16
What kind of goddess has lived among us?
17
How will we ever get by without her?
18
She had her moments, she had some style
19
The best show in town was the crowd
20
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
21
But that's all gone now
22
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
23
We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years
24
[Crowd:]
25
Salve regina mater misericordiae
26
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
27
Salve salve regina
28
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
29
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
30
O clemens o pia
31
[Che:]
32
You let down your people Evita
33
You were supposed to have been immortal
34
That's all they wanted, not much to ask for
35
But in the end you could not deliver
36
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
37
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
38
Your queen is dead, your king is through
39
And she's not coming back to you
40
Show business kept us all alive
41
Since seventeen October 1945
42
But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin
43
That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in
44
Instead of government we had a stage
45
Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage
46
Instead of help we were given a crowd
47
She didn't say much, but she said it loud
48
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
49
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
50
Your queen is dead, your king is through
51
She's not coming back to you
52
[Crowd:]
53
Salve regina mater misericordiae
54
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
55
Salve salve regina Peron
56
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
57
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
58
O clemens o pia
59
[Eva:]
60
Don't cry for me Argentina
61
For I am ordinary, unimportant
62
And undeserving of such attention
63
Unless we all are, I think we all are
64
So share my glory, so share my coffin
65
So share my glory, so share my coffin
66
[Che:]
67
It's our funeral too
