(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]

I can understand you perfectly

And I like what I hear, what I see, and knowing me

I would be good for you too
