[MAGALDI] On this night of a thousand stars Let me take you to heaven's door Where the music of love's guitars Plays forevermore In the glow of those twinkling lights We shall love through eternity On this night in a million nights Fly away with me I never dreamed that a kiss Could be as sweet as this But now I know that it can I used to wander alone Without a love of my own I was a desperate man But all my grief disappeared And all the sorrow I feared Wasn't there anymore On that magical day When you first came my way, mi amor On this night On this night On this night of a thousand stars Lеt me take you to heavеn's door Where the music of love's guitar Plays for evermore! [EVA] It must be a dream Augustin Magaldi The most famous man to visit Junín [MAGALDI] The audience seem Extremely heavy going— [CHE] Listen chum face the fact They don't like your act [MAGALDI] But this is the sticks! If this were Buenos Aires I'd have that town at my feet I never ever meet members of the public They tear me apart [CHE] I understand their feelings [EVA] I wanna be a part of BA Buenos Aires—Big Apple! [EVA & FRIENDS] I wanna be a part of BA Buenos Aires—Big Apple! [CHE] Just listen to that! They're onto you Magaldi I'd get out while you can [EVA] It's happened at last I'm starting to get started I'm moving out with my man [MAGALDI] Now Eva, don't get carried away [EVA] Monotony past Suburbia departed Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond? [MAGALDI] Don't hear words that I didn't say [FRIENDS] What's that? You'd desert the girl you love? [MAGALDI] The girl I love? Who? [FRIENDS] She really brightened up your out of town engagement She gave you all she had—she wasn't in your contract You must be quite relieved that no one's told the papers So far [EVA] I wanna be a part of BA Buenos Aires—Big Apple! Would I have done what I did If I hadn't thought—if I hadn't known We would stay together? [CHE] Seems to me there's no point in resisting She's made up her mind, you've no choice Why don't you be the man who discovered her? You'll never be remembered for your voice [MAGALDI] The city can be paradise for those who have the cash The class and the connection—what you need to make a splash The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash If you were rich or middle class— [EVA] Screw the middle classes I will never accept them And they will never deny me anything again My father's other family were middle class And we were kept out of sight—hidden from view at his funeral! If these are the people of Buenos Aires I welcome the chance to shine in their city And to trample their rotten values into the ground [CHE] Do all your one night stands give you this trouble? [MAGALDI] Eva, beware of the city It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled—it is mad Those who are fools are swallowed up whole And those who are not Become what they should not become Changed—in short they go bad [EVA] Bad is good for me I'm bored, so clean and so ignored I've only been predictable—respectable! Birds fly out of here So why, oh why, oh why the hell can't I? I only want variety of society I wanna be a part of BA Buenos Aires—Big Apple! [EVA & FRIENDS] I wanna be a part of BA Buenos Aires—Big Apple! [MAGALDI] Five years from now, I shall come back And finally say, "You have your way, come to town" But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes The magical city A younger girl's city A fantasy long since put down [EVA] All you've done to me Was that a young girl's fantasy? I played your city games alright, didn't I? I already know what cooks How the dirty city feels and looks I tasted it last night, didn't I? I'm gonna be a part of BA Buenos Aires—Big Apple! [EVA & FRIENDS] I'm gonna be a part of BA Buenos Aires—Big Apple! [MAGALDI] Eva, beware your ambition It's hungry and cold—can't be controlled, will run wild This in a man is a danger enough But you are a woman Not even a woman Not very much more than a child And whatever you say I'll not steal you away!
