On this night...

Che
Luna Park Stadium, Buenos Aires, January 22, 1944

Magaldi
On this night...

Che
A concert in aid of the victims of an earthquake that devastated the town of San Juan, Argentina

Magaldi
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays forevermore!

Che
Ladies and Gentlemen, Agustin Magaldi! Any minute now, the man of the hour...!

Peron
Tonight I'm proud to be the peoples' spokesman
You've given help to those who've lost their homes
But more than that, conclusively shown
That the people should run their affairs on their own!
Make sure your leaders understand the people!
Crowd
(Chanting)
Peron! Peron! Peron! Peron! Peron! Peron!

Eva
Colonol Peron...?

Peron
Eva Duarte...?

Both
I've heard so much about you
I'm amazed for I'm only a soldier/an actress
One of the thousands (nothing to shout about)
Defending the country he loves (only a girl on the boards)

Eva
But when you act, the things you do affect us all

Peron
But when you act, you take us away from the squalor of the real world
Are you here on your own?

Eva
Yes. Oh yes
Peron
So am I. What a fortunate coincidence
Maybe you're my reward
For my efforts here tonight

Eva
It seems crazy but you must believe
There's nothing calculated, nothing planned
Please forgive me if I seem naive
I would never want to force your hand
But please understand
I'd be good for you

I don't always rush in like this
Twenty seconds after saying hello
Telling strangers I'm too good to miss
If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so
But you really should know
I'd be good for you -
I'd be surprisingly good for you

I won't go on
If I'm boring you
But do you understand my point of view?
Do you like what you hear, what you see
And would you be
Good for me too?
I'm not talking of a hurried night
A frantic tumble, then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that I caught your eye
Which has to imply
I'd be good for you -
I'd be surprisingly good for you

Peron
Please go on;
You enthrall me
I can understand you perfectly
And I like what I hear, what I see
And knowing me
I would be good for you too

Eva
I'm not talking of a hurried night
A frantic tumble, then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that I caught your eye
Which has to imply
I'd be good for you -
I'd be surprisingly good for you

Both
There is no one, no one at all
Never has been and never will be a lover
Male or female
Who hasn't an eye on
In fact they rely on
Tricks they can try on their partner

They're hoping their lover
Will help them or keep them
Support them, promote them
Don't blame them: you're the same
