Jonathan Pryce---On The Balcony Of The Casa Rosada 1

lyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber





(Peron has just won a sweeping victory in the 6 Presidential

election. This is the first public appearance by Peron and Eva

since that triumph.)



(Announcer:)

People of Argentina

Your newly elected President, Juan Peron



(Crowd chanting:)

[Peron Peron ... ]



(Peron:)

Argentinos, Argentinos

We are all workers now

Fighting against our common enemies

Poverty, social injustice

Foreign domination of our industries

Reaching for our common goals

Our independence, our dignity, our pride



Let the world know that our great nation is awakening

And that its heart beats in the humble bodies

Of Juan Peron and his wife

The first lady of Argentina, Eva Duarte de Peron



(Crowd chanting:)

[Evita Evita ... ]
