Madonna – Evita – 16 Waltz for Eva and Che (1996) [Che:] Tell me before I waltz out of your life Before turning my back on the past Forgive my impertinent behavior But how long do you think this pantomime can last? Tell me before I ride off in the sunset There’s one thing I never got clear How can you claim you’re our savior When those who oppose you are stepped on, Or cut up, or simply disappear? [Eva:] Tell me before you get onto your bus Before joining the forgotten brigade How can one person like me, say, Alter the time-honored way the game is played? Tell me before you get onto your high horse Just what you expect me to do I don’t care what the bourgeoisie say I’m not in business for them But to give all my descamisados A magical moment or two [Che and Eva:] There is evil, ever around Fundamental system of government Quite incidental [Eva:] So what are my chances of honest advances? I’d say low Better to win by admitting my sin Than to lose with a halo [Che:] Tell me before I seek worthier pastures And thereby restore self-esteem How can you be so short-sighted To look never further than this week or next week To have no impossible dream? [Eva:] Allow me to help you slink off to the sidelines And mark your adieu with three cheers But first tell me who’d be delighted If I said I’d take on the world’s greatest problems From war to pollution, no hope of solution Even if I lived for one hundred years [Che and Eva:] There is evil, ever around Fundamental system of …

Madonna – Evita – 08 I’d Be Surprisingly Good for You (1996) [Eva:] Colonel Peron [Peron:] Eva Duarte [Eva and Peron:] I’ve heard so much about you [Eva and Peron:] I’m amazed, for I’m only an actress (a soldier) Nothing to shout about (One of the thousands) Only a girl on the air (Defending the country he loves) [Eva:] But when you act, the things you do affect us all [Peron:] But when you act, you take us away from the squalor of the real world Are you here on your own? [Eva:] Yes, oh yes [Peron:] So am I, what a fortunate coincidence Maybe you’re my reward for my efforts here tonight [Eva:] It seems crazy but you must believe There’s nothing calculated, nothing planned Please forgive me if I seem naive I would never want to force your hand But please understand, I’d be good for you I don’t always rush in like this Twenty seconds after saying hello Telling strangers I’m too good to miss If I’m wrong I hope you’ll tell me so But you really should know, I’d be good for you I’d be surprisingly good for you I won’t go on if I’m boring you But do you understand my point of view? Do you like what you hear, what you see And would you be, good for me too? I’m not talking of a hurried night A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye Creeping home before it gets too light That’s not the reason that I caught your eye Which has to imply, I’d be good for you I’d be surprisingly good for you [Peron:] Please go on, you enthrall me I can understand you perfectly And I like what I hear, what I …

Madonna – Evita – 02 What a Circus (1996) Oh what a circus! Oh what a show! Argentina has gone to town Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron We’ve all gone crazy Mourning all day and mourning all night Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right Oh what an exit! That’s how to go! When they’re ringing your curtain down Demand to be buried like Eva Peron It’s quite a sunset And good for the country in a roundabout way We’ve made the front page of all the world’s papers today But who is this Santa Evita? Why all this howling hysterical sorrow? What kind of goddess has lived among us? How will we ever get by without her? She had her moments–she had some style The best show in town was the crowd Outside the Casa Rosada crying, “Eva Peron” But that’s all gone now As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears We’re all going to see how she did nothing for years! Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve salve regina Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia (Save, queen Mother of misericordy, Life, sweetness and hope of us Save, save, queen, To you ve claim Exilated sons of Eve To you we yearn, crying and screaming Oh, life, oh hope Oh eternally virgin Mary.)

Madonna – Evita – 18 Eva’s Final Broadcast (1996) 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 (Evita! Evita!…) 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
