Lyrics

[00:00.85] Salve regina mater misericordiae
[00:05.81] Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
[00:09.77] Salve salve regina
[00:13.28] Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
[00:20.32] Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
[00:25.58] O clemens o pia
[00:30.65] Oh what a circus! Oh what a show!
[00:36.12] Argentina has gone to town
[00:39.73] Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
[00:45.11] We've all gone crazy
[00:47.87] Mourning all day and mourning all night
[00:51.49] Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right
[00:59.59] Oh what an exit! That's how to go!
[01:04.19] When they're ringing your curtain down
[01:07.72] Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
[01:12.23] It's quite a sunset
[01:15.88] And good for the country in a roundabout way
[01:19.46] We've made the front page of all the world's papers today
[01:26.64] But who is this Santa Evita?
[01:29.40] Why all this howling hysterical sorrow?
[01:33.99] What kind of goddess has lived among us?
[01:37.52] How will we ever get by without her?
[01:42.19] Salve regina mater misericordiae
[01:48.65] Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
[01:52.22] Salve salve regina
[01:56.72] Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
[02:03.53] Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
[02:08.69] O clemens o pia
[02:12.77] She had her moments--she had some style
[02:17.25] The best show in town was the crowd
[02:20.94] Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
[02:25.42] But that's all gone now
[02:28.15] As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
[02:31.71] We're all going to see how she did nothing for years!
[02:39.49] You let down your people Evita
[02:42.47] You were supposed to have been immortal
[02:46.29] That's all they wanted
[02:47.95] Not much to ask for
[02:49.89] But in the end you could not deliver
[02:56.12] Salve regina mater misericordiae
[03:02.45] Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
[03:06.06] Salve salve regina
[03:10.51] Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
[03:16.05] Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
[03:21.45] O clemens o pia
[03:24.33] Salve regina mater misericordiae
[03:30.48] Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
[03:34.04] Salve salve regina Peron
[03:38.59] Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
[03:42.12] Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
[03:44.84] O clemens o pia
[03:50.38]
