Ambition Unleashed: Eva Perón's Struggle in a New Argentina
Lyrics
Respice, quaesumus, Domine
Invocation for divine guidance: "Look, we beseech you, Lord"
Famulam tuam Evita in infirmitate
Asking for support for Evita in her weakness
Et animam refove, quam creasti
Seeking nourishment for the soul created by God
Ut castigationibus emendata
Desiring correction through discipline
Se tua sentiat medicina salvatum
That she may feel the healing power of God's medicine
Per Christum, Dominum qui vivit et regnat
Through Christ, the Lord who lives and reigns
Per omnia saecula saeculorum amen
Forever and ever, amen
She had her moments, she had some style
Reflecting on Evita's moments and style
The best show in town was the crowd
The best entertainment was the crowd outside Casa Rosada
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Perón"
The crowd crying for Eva Perón
But that's all gone now
All that is now in the past
Hey Eva, beware your ambition
Warning Eva about the uncontrollable nature of ambition
It's hungry and cold can't be controlled
Ambition is hungry, cold, and uncontrollable
Will run wild
It will run wild
This in a man is a danger enough
Dangerous in a man, more so in a woman
But you are a woman
Eva is warned as she is a woman
A new Argentina! The voice of the people
Expressing the voice of the people in a new Argentina
Cannot be and will not be
The voice of the people cannot be denied
And must not be denied!
It must not be denied
Statesmanship is more than
Emphasizing that statesmanship is more than entertaining peasants
Entertaining peasants
Statesmanship holds higher importance
Accountants only slow things down
Accountants are seen as hindering progress
Figures get in the way
Figures obstruct the way
Never been a lady loved as much as Eva Perón!
Eva Perón is proclaimed as a lady loved like no other
High flying, adored
Describing Eva as high-flying and adored
So young, the instant queen
She became an instant queen at a young age
A rich beautiful thing of all the talents
Rich, beautiful, and talented, a fantasy and a saint
A cross between
Comparing her to a mix of a bedroom fantasy and a saint
A fantasy of the bedroom and a saint
Contrasting her with a backstreet girl
And you were just a backstreet girl
Hustling, fighting, scratching, and biting
Hustling and fighting scratching and biting
High flying, adored
Reiterating Eva's high-flying and adored status
Did you believe in your wildest moments
Questioning if she believed in her wildest moments that all this success would be hers
All this would be yours?
Questioning if she thought she would become the lady of them all
That you'd become the lady of them all?
Reflecting on the stars in Eva's eyes
Were there stars in your eyes
