A new Argentina

The chains of the masses untied

A new Argentina

The voice of the people cannot be denied

There is only one man who can lead any workers' regime

He lives for your problems

He shares your ideals and your dream

He supports you

For he loves you

Understands you

Is one of you

If not how could he love me?

A new Argentina

The workers' battlе song

A new Argentina

The voicе of the people rings out loud and long

Now I am a worker

I've suffered the way that you do

I've been unemployed

And I've starved

And I've hated it too

But I found my salvation in Perón

May the nation let him save them as he saved me

A new Argentina

A new age about to begin

A new Argentina

We face the world together

And no dissent within

Nationalisation of the industries that the foreigners control

Participation in the profits that we make

Shorter hours higher wages

Votes for women larger dole

More public spending

A bigger slice of every cake

It's annoying that we have to fight elections for our cause

The inconvenience having to get a majority

If normal methods of persuasion fail to win us applause

There are other ways of establishing authority

We have ways of making you vote for us

Or at least of making you abstain

Perón has resigned from the army and this we avow

The descamisados are those he is marching with now

He supports you

For he loves you

Understands you

Is one of you

If not how could he love me?

A new Argentina

The chains of the masses untied

A new Argentina

The voice of the people cannot be

And will not be

And must not be denied

Then again I could be foolish not to quit while I'm ahead

I can see me many miles away inactive

Sipping cocktails on a terrace

Taking breakfast in bed

Sleeping easy

Doing crosswords

It's attractive

Don't think I don't think like you

I often get those nightmares too

They always take some swallowing

Sometimes it's very difficult to keep momentum

If it's you that you are following

Don't close doors

Keep an escape clause

Because we might lose the Big Apple

But would I have done what I did

If I hadn't thought

If I hadn't known we would take the country

A new Argentina

The chains of the masses untied

A new Argentina

The voice of the people cannot be

And will not be

And must not be denied
