歌词
1943年6月爆发了军事政变
In June of forty-three there was a military coup
幕后策划的党派名为G.O.U.
Behind it was a gang called the G.O.U.
认为全国选举实属多此一举
Who did not feel the need to be elected
他们信奉枪杆子里出政权
所作所为与暴君阿提拉相差无几
They had themselves a party at the point of a gun
面对炸弹谁敢反抗
They were slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun
一声炮响，政府倒台，砰砰！
A bomb or two and very few objected
命贱如蝇，拜拜！
背靠墙，瞄准，枪毙！
Yeah, just one shell and governments fall like flies, kapow, die
举国疯狂乱作一团
They stumble and fall, bye bye
枪炮最终取代民主政权
Backs to the wall, aim high
艾娃潜力巨大，把握正确时机
We're having a ball
高调出演纪实电影
The tank and bullet rule as democracy dies
一举击败灰姑娘成功改变命运
The lady's got potential, she was setting her sights
即使演技糟糕，后台关系过硬
On making it in movies with her name in lights
毕竟事业成败取决于人际关系
The greatest social climber since Cinderella
有靠山就能名利双收
一声炮响，政府闻风丧胆，砰砰！
OK, she couldn't act but she had the right friends
命贱如蝇，拜拜！
And we all know a career depends
背靠墙，瞄准，枪毙！
On knowing the right fella to be stellar
举国上下为之疯狂
这才是建立政府的正确之道
Yeah, just one shell and governments lose their nerve, kapow, die
总统背后另有他人操控大局
They stumble and fall, bye bye
手握大权精打细算
Backs to the wall, aim high
此人正是胡安·贝隆将军，日后的独裁者
We're having a ball
他于意大利开始军旅生涯
That's how we get the government we deserve
亲眼见证墨索里尼上台
自以为自己有朝一日也能如此
Now the man behind the President calling the shots
一声炮响，催泪弹如雨点落下，砰砰！
Involved so discreetly in a lot of their plots
政府毫无胜算，拜拜！
Was Colonel Juan Peron, would be dictator
恐怖分子步步逼近
贝隆却兵不血刃
He began in the army out in Italy so
按兵不动等待时机
Saw Mussolini's rise from the very front row
直到圣胡安市忽遇地震，砰砰！
I reckon he'd do likewise sooner or later
旧政府随之坍塌，拜拜！
远离危墙！
Yeah, just one blast and the tear gas falls like rain, kapow, die
有人却暗中窃喜
They haven't a chance, bye bye
悲剧成为贝隆的黄金时机
The terrorists advance
他顺势举办慈善音乐会
But one guy doesn't dirty his hands
打着救助伤者的美名旗号
Peron was biding time out in the slow lane
政界要员和艺界明星纷纷到场
那是1944年1月22日
Yeah, suddenly an earthquake hit the town of San Juan, kapow, die
值得铭记的一夜
They stumble and fall, bye bye
贝隆就在此夜邂逅艾娃
Keep away from the wall
贝隆就在此夜邂逅艾娃
But one guy was having a ball
The tragedy, a golden chance for Peron
He organized a concert with incredible flair
In aid of all the victims, such a grand affair
Politicians, actors, stars of every flavor
It was January twenty-second, 1944
A night to remember, yeah, that's for sure
For that's the night that Peron first met Eva
For that's the night that Peron first met Eva
