It's all very well to a certain extent, for the lady at the side of the presidentTo show an interest in offense, but let's not be blind to the drift of eventsShe's eclipsing the strength of the government, she should return to below stairsShe will never win a hunt, she's a woman for a startShe holds no elected post, she's an ornamented hostWhat's new, Buenos Aires? Your nation, which a few years ago had the second largest gold reserves in the world, is bankruptA country which grew up and grew rich on beef is rationing itLa Planza, one of the few newspapers which dares to opposePeronism has been silenced, and so have all other reasonable voicesI'll tell you what's new, Buenos AiresBut on the other hand, she's all they haveShe's a diamond in their dull grey livesAnd that's the hardest kind of stoneShe survivesAnd if you think about itCan you recall the last time they loved anyone at all?She's not a bubble you can brush asideShe's been up doing what we've just talked aboutSample SurfGave us back our business, got the English outAnd when you think about itWell why not do One or two of the things we promised to?But on the other hand, she's slowing downShe's my hero, red, she's my woman after allLost a little of that magic driveBut I would not advise her critics present to deriveAny satisfaction from her fading starShe's the one who's kept us where we areShe's the one who's kept you where you are
