[00:00:00] A New Argentina - Bob Gunton/Mandy Patinkin (曼迪·帕汀金)/Patti Pone

[00:00:02] Written by：Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice

[00:00:05] Peron：

[00:00:06] Dice are rolling the knives are out

[00:00:11] Would be presidents are all around

[00:00:14] I don't say they mean harm

[00:00:16] But they'd each give an arm

[00:00:19] To see us six feet underground

[00:00:22] Eva：

[00:00:24] It doesn't matter what those morons say

[00:00:29] Our nation's leaders are a feeble crew

[00:00:33] There's only twenty of them anyway

[00:00:37] What is twenty next to millions who

[00:00:40] Are looking to you

[00:00:45] All you have to do is sit and wait

[00:00:49] Keeping out of everybody's way

[00:00:54] We'll you'll be handed power on a plate

[00:00:59] When the ones who matter have their say

[00:01:03] And with chaos installed

[00:01:08] You can reluctantly agree to be called

[00:01:12] Peron：

[00:01:13] There again we could be foolish not to quit while we're ahead

[00:01:19] For distance lends enchantment and that is why

[00:01:26] All exiles are distinguished more important they're not dead

[00:01:33] I could find job satisfaction in Paraguay

[00:01:38] Eva：

[00:01:38] This is crazy defeatist talk

[00:01:41] Why commit political suicide there's no risk

[00:01:44] There's no call for any action at all

[00:01:48] When you have unions on your side

[00:01:51] Workers：

[00:01:51] Peron Peron Peron Peron Peron Peron

[00:01:58] Che：

[00:02:03] A new Argentina the chains of the masses untied

[00:02:11] A new Argentina the voice of the people

[00:02:17] Cannot be denied

[00:02:22] Eva：

[00:02:22] There is only one man who can lead any workers' regime

[00:02:28] He lives for your problems he shares your ideals and your dream

[00:02:33] He supports you for he loves you

[00:02:36] Understands you is one of you

[00:02:39] If not how could he love me

[00:02:44] Che/Secret Police：

[00:02:44] A new Argentina the workers' battle song

[00:02:53] A new Argentina the voice of the people

[00:02:58] Rings out loud and long

[00:03:03] Eva：

[00:03:04] Now I am a worker I've suffered the way that you do

[00:03:09] I've been unemployed and I've starved and I've hated it too

[00:03:15] But I found my salvation in Peron may the nation

[00:03:20] Let him save them as he saved me

[00:03:25] Che：

[00:03:26] A new Argentina a new age about to begin

[00:03:34] A new Argentina we face the world together

[00:03:39] Che/Secret Police：

[00:03:40] And no dissent within

[00:03:44] Individual Workers：

[00:03:45] Nationalization of the industries that the foreigners control

[00:03:50] Participation in the profits that we make

[00:03:55] Shorter hours

[00:03:57] Higher wages

[00:03:58] Votes for women

[00:04:00] Larger dole

[00:04:01] More public spending

[00:04:03] A bigger slice of every cake

[00:04:06] Peron：

[00:04:06] It's annoying that we have to fight elections for our cause

[00:04:12] The inconvenience having to get a majority

[00:04:17] If normal methods of persuasion fail to win us applause

[00:04:23] There are other ways of establishing authority

[00:04:28] Secret Police：

[00:04:28] We have ways of making you vote for us

[00:04:31] Or at least of making you abstain

[00:04:34] Eva：

[00:04:35] Peron has resigned from the army and this we avow

[00:04:41] The descamisados are those he is marching with now

[00:04:46] He supports you for he loves you understands you is one of you

[00:04:52] If not how could he love me

[00:04:57] Both：

[00:04:57] A new Argentina

[00:05:00] The chains of the masses untied

[00:05:05] A new Argentina

[00:05:08] The voice of the people cannot be

[00:05:13] And will not be and must not be denied

[00:05:21] Peron：

[00:05:23] There again we could be foolish

[00:05:27] Not to quit while we're ahead

[00:05:31] I can see me many miles away

[00:05:35] Inactive

[00:05:38] Sipping cocktails on a terrace

[00:05:42] Taking breakfast in bed

[00:05:46] Sleeping easy doing crosswords

[00:05:50] It's attractive

[00:05:52] Eva：

[00:05:53] Don't think I don't think like you

[00:05:54] I often get those nightmares too

[00:05:56] They always take some swallowing

[00:05:59] Sometimes it's very difficult to keep momentum if

[00:06:02] It's you that you are following

[00:06:05] Don't close doors

[00:06:06] Keep an escape clause

[00:06:08] Because we might lose

[00:06:10] The big apple

[00:06:13] But would I have done what I did

[00:06:16] If I hadn't thought if I hadn't known

[00:06:19] We would take the country

[00:06:23] Both：

[00:06:26] A new Argentina

[00:06:29] The chains of the masses untied

[00:06:35] A new Argentina

[00:06:37] The voice of the people cannot be

[00:06:43] And will not be and must not be denied
