A New Argentina [Spanish translation]

[Workers:]

A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied

A new Argentina, the voice of the people

Cannot be denied

[Eva:]

There is only one man who can lead any workers' regime

He lives for your problems, he shares your ideals and your dream

He supports you, for he loves you

Understands you, is one of you

If not, how could he love me?

[Workers:]

A new Argentina, the workers' battle song

A new Argentina, the voice of the people

Rings out loud and long

[Eva:]

Now I am a worker, I've suffered the way that you do

I've been unemployed, and I've starved and I've hated it too

But I found my salvation in Peron, may the nation

Let him save them as he saved me

[All:]

A new Argentina, a new age about to begin

A new Argentina, we face the world together

And no dissent within

[Peron:]

There again we could be foolish not to quit while we're ahead

I can see us many miles away, inactive

Sipping cocktails on a terrace, taking breakfast in bed

Sleeping easy, doing nothing, it's attractive

[Eva:]

Don't think I don't think like you

I often get those nightmares too

They always take some swallowing

Sometimes it's very difficult to keep momentum

If it's you that you are following

Don't close doors, keep an escape clause

Because we might lose the Big Apple

But would I have done what I did

If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known

We would take the country

[Eva:]

Peron has resigned from the army and this we avow

The descamisados are those he is marching with now

He supports you, for he loves you

Understands you, is one of you

If not, how could he love me?

[All:]

A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied

A new Argentina, the voice of the people

Cannot be, and must not be denied
