El Juramento De Eva

(It's dawn at Plaza de Mayo where an almost litany can be heard.)

PERONISTS
Perón, Perón
How great you are
How much you're worth
My Colonel.

Perón, Perón
How great you are
How much you're worth...

EVA
I swear to you that if he comes back
And he will surely return
I'll be a bridge between you
Between you and my Juan.

What joy, my boys
I'll never be able to repay you
This shirtless love
They have nothing, they give everything.

Love is an alliance
Between just two
But I'll be a bridge
For this general love.

Love is repaid with love
And I will pay you
If my life is necessary
I will give this life.

And I'll be a war bridge
A rainbow of peace
So my people can cross
So they can pass.

I swear to you that if he comes back
And he will surely return
From now on and forever
In the fight you'll have me.

In my life and in my people
It will forever remain
This seventeenth day
This popular October.

EVERYONE
Argentina
My homeland
This people is your truth
Those who come
Those who follow
Will sing to this day!

(Perón appears on the balcony and greets the shirtless ones.)

EVERYONE
Good!
Good!
Good!
