A New Argentina

A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied
A new Argentina, the voice of the people
Cannot be denied.

There is only one man who can lead any workers' regime
He lives for your problems, he shares your ideals and your dream
He supports you, for he loves you
Understands you, is one of you
If not, how could he love me?

A new Argentina, the workers' battle song
A new Argentina, the voice of the people
Rings out loud and long.

Now I am a worker, i've suffered the way that you do
I've been unemployed, and i've starved and i've hated it too
But I found my salvation in Peron, may the nation
Let him save them as he saved me.

A new Argentina, a new age about to begin
A new Argentina, we face the world together
And no dissent within.

Nationalization of the industries
That the foreigners control
Participation in the profits that we make
Shorter hours
Higher wages
Votes for women
Larger dole
More public spending
A bigger slice of every cake.

How annoying that they have to fight elections for their cause
The inconvenience, having to get a majority
If normal methods of persuasion fail to win them applause
There are other ways of establishing authority.

We have ways of making you vote for us
Or at least of making you abstain.

Peron has resigned from the army and this we avow
The descamisados are those he is marching with now!
He supports you for he loves you, understands you
Is one of you
If not, how could he love me?

A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied
A new Argentina, the voice of the people
Cannot be, and will not be, and must not be denied.
