It's all very well to a certain extentFor the lady at the side of the presidentTo show an interest in our affairsBut let's not be blind to the drift of eventsShe's eclipsing the strength of the governmentShe should return to below stairsShe will never win a heartShe's a woman for a startShe holds no elected postShe's an ornamented hostWhat's new, Buenos Aires?Your nation, which a few years agoHad the second largest gold reserves in the worldIs bankruptA country which grew up and grew richAnd beef is rationing itLa Planza, one of the few newspapersWhich dares to opposePeronism has been silencedAnd so have all other reasonable voicesI'll tell you what's new, Buenos AiresBut on the other handShe's all they haveShe's a diamond in their dull grey livesAnd that's the hardest kind of stoneIt usually isShe survivesAnd if you think about itCan you recallThe last time they lovedAnyone at all?She's not a bubble you can brush asideShe's been up doing what we've just talked aboutIgnoring the world on its ownexample, gave us back our businesses, got the English out. And when you think aboutit, well, why not do one or two of the things we promised to? But on the other hand, she'sslowing down. She's lost a little of that magic drive, but I would not advise her criticspresent to derive any satisfaction from her fading star. She's the one who's kept us wherewe are.She's the one who's kept you where you are.
