Dont Cry For Me Argentina (Tribute to Evita Peron)

I like history, and some how the life of this iron lady named Evita Peron triggered my interest of knowing her in depth. By listening to this song, Don’t Cry For Me Argentina; I could get some clear picture about this iron lady. She came from a broken family due to a different social class, based on the movie that I watched, her late father came from an aristocrat family and her mother meanwhile was only a low class civillians and she did not expect that all the trialsome moment that she needs to undergo would actually transformed her to be the first lady of Argentina. Albeit of her cancer sickness, she stayed committed over her responsibility being the first lady of Argentina until the last day of her life in 1952. I am posting this song, for us to understand how passionate she was when it comes to the welfare of the Argetinans.

The Spanish Version.

I’d Be Surprisingly Good For You (Evita)

This is a video clip taken from one of the scene inside the musical film, “Evita” together with the lyrics.

Evita I’d Be Surprisingly Good For You Lyrics
Songwriters: N/A

EVA: Colonel Peron?

PERON: Eva Duarte?

EVA and PERON: I’ve heard so much about you!
I’m amazed for I’m only an actress (a soldier)
Nothing to shout about (One of the thousands)
Only a girl on the air (Defending the country he loves).

EVA: But when you act, the things you do affect us all.

PERON :But when you act, you take us away from the squalor of
The real world–Are you here on your own?

EVA: Yes, Oh yes.

PERON: So am I–what a fortunate coincidence. Maybe you’re my

Reward for my efforts here tonight.

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

But please understand I’d be good for you.
I don’t always rush in like this

Twenty seconds after saying hello
Telling strangers I’m too good to miss

If I’m wrong I hope you’ll tell me so
But you really should know I’d be good for you

I’d be surprisingly good for you.
I won’t go on if I’m boring you

But do you understand my point of view
Do you like what you hear, what you see, and would you be Good for me too?
I’m not talking of a hurried night A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That’s not the reason that I caught your eyeWhich has to imply
I’d be good for youI’d be surprisingly good for you

PERON: Please go on–you enthrall me!I can understand you perfectly
And I like what I hear, what I see, and knowing meI would be good for you too

EVA: I’m not talking of a hurried nightA frantic tumble then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That’s not the reason that I caught your eyeWhich has to imply
I’d be good for youI’d be surprisingly good for you.
