san francisco camerata – act i – scene ii: corpus returns كلمات اغاني

[doctor]
god knows that i don’t believe
but who else will atone
for isabel’s sins?
to disturb the peace of the dead…
to bring you back, señora, after twenty years
to take on your image…!
who would have thought
that they would resort to this?

it’s a desperate move
but it won’t help them
the crowd needs a leader with fire in the belly
what the crowd needs
isabel cannot supply

[corpus evita]
how would you know what the crowd needs?
you and your middle class friends
always ignored their needs
this crowd needs hope
i always gave thеm hope

[doctor]
maybe, but you are dеad
it’s isabel that speaks to them now
and she will once again invoke your image
and they will come
streaming in by the thousands
to see you resting peacefully in this glass box
they’ll gawk, and they’ll want you beautiful
i will make you look as real as ever to them!
[corpus evita]
they will not gawk!
how dare you?
they are in mourning!

[doctor, to the audience]
in mourning? yes, indeed, in mourning!
she died in 1952
and we are still reeling from her life and her death!
enough already!
why are we mourning again?

[to corpus evita]
forgive me
i must hurry, the ministro…

[corpus evita]
it’s been a long time, doctor, twenty years
and you haven’t learned a thing
there she is, your creation
she can’t look real, she has no soul
she keeps shrinking, evaporating
the wretched thing
soon there will be nothing left
what will you tell the ministro then?
[doctor]
the masses will never know the difference
it will look real enough to them

[corpus evita]
when will you understand?
it was the people who kept me alive
the people, and not your silly alchemy
i made them feel that they mattered
i made them dream like no one else ever had
i made them fight
for what they thought was right
i gave them ideals
i gave them hope
and they opened their souls to me
it was my fate
no one else could have done it
no one else…
i am argentina’s great myth
and i’m alive in their hearts!

but you, the middle class
you worked with the generals
you helped them and, like them
you had no scruples
you and the generals
deserved each other!
[doctor]
señora!
those were difficult times
i tried to protect you
but i had to do as the generals told me
they didn’t know how to hide a body
how to make a corpse disappear

[corpus evita]
but they’ve learned… you’ll see
those bullies!
they couldn’t leave me alone
even after death
they knew i would give them trouble
they understand the power of my myth
