On the Balcony of the Casa Rosada II
To a brief synopsis of the scene


Eva:  Just listen to that the voice of Argentina
We are adored we are loved

Statesman:  Statesmanship is more than entertaining peasants

Eva's mother:  We shall see little man

Crowd:  Evita Peron la Santa Peronista
(chanting continues)

Eva:  I'm only a simple woman who lives to serve Peron in his noble
crusade to rescue his people. I was once as you are now and I promise you this:
we will take the riches from the oligarchs, only for you, for all of you, and one
day, you too will inherit these treasures. Descamisados! Mis companeros! When they
fire those cannons, when the crowds sing of glory, it is not just for Peron, but
for all of us, for all of us!

English:  Things have reached a pretty pass
When someone pretty lower class
Can be respected and admired

English woman:  But our privaleged class is dead
Look who they are calling for now
