Montage

(In her last hours, images, people and events from her life flow through EVA's mind, while the nation's grief knows no bounds – to the mass of the people she is already a saint, nothing less. EVA hears fragments from:)

[Che]
She had her moments--she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
But that's all gone now.

[Magaldi]
Eva beware your ambition.

[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.

[Crowd]
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.

[Peron]
Why are you at my side?
How can I be any use to you now?
Give me a chance and I'll let you see how
Nothing has changed.

[Crowd]
Santa Santa Evita
Madre de todos los ninos...
...de los tiranizados
De los descamisados
De los trabajadores
De la Argentina.

[Che]
Sing you fools but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead, your king is through
She's not coming back to you!
