It's all very well to a certain extent, for the lady at the side of the president
To show an interest in offense, but let's not be blind to the drift of events
She's eclipsing the strength of the government, she should return to below stairs
She will never win a hunt, she's a woman for a start
She holds no elected post, she's an ornamented host
What's new, Buenos Aires? Your nation, which a few years ago had the second largest gold reserves in the world, is bankrupt
A country which grew up and grew rich on beef is rationing it
La Planza, one of the few newspapers which dares to oppose
Peronism has been silenced, and so have all other reasonable voices
I'll tell you what's new, Buenos Aires
But on the other hand, she's all they have
She's a diamond in their dull grey lives
And that's the hardest kind of stone
She survives
And if you think about it
Can you recall the last time they loved anyone at all?
She's not a bubble you can brush aside
She's been up doing what we've just talked about
Sample Surf
Gave us back our business, got the English out
And when you think about it
Well why not do One or two of the things we promised to?
But on the other hand, she's slowing down
She's my hero, red, she's my woman after all
Lost a little of that magic drive
But I would not advise her critics present to derive
Any satisfaction from her fading star
She's the one who's kept us where we are
She's the one who's kept you where you are
