Patti LuPone
Eva’s Final Broadcast
[CHE]
Forgive my intrusion Evita, I just have to see
How you admit you have lost—a brand new experience!
We got it set up!
We fixed you a broadcast
And you're so good on the air!
[EVA]
The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
She's sad for her country
Sad to be defeated by her own weak body
[A microphone is switched on. EVA is now on the air.]
I want to tell the people of Argentina
I've decided I should decline
All the honors and titles you've pressed me to take
For I'm contented
Let me simply go on
As the woman who brings her people to the heart of Perón!
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I shall not leave you
Though it may get harder
For you to see me
I'm Argentina
And always will be
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true
