The Lady's Got Potential

1943年6月爆發了軍事政變
In June of forty-three there was a military coup
幕後策劃的黨派名為G.O.U.
Behind it was a gang called the G.O.U.
認為全國選舉實屬多此一舉
Who did not feel the need to be elected
他們信奉槍桿子裡出政權

所作所為與暴君阿提拉相差無幾
They had themselves a party at the point of a gun
面對炸彈誰敢反抗
They were slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun
一聲炮響，政府倒台，砰砰！
A bomb or two and very few objected
命賤如蠅，拜拜！

背靠牆，瞄準，槍斃！
Yeah, just one shell and governments fall like flies, kapow, die
舉國瘋狂亂作一團
They stumble and fall, bye bye
槍砲最終取代民主政權
Backs to the wall, aim high
艾娃潛力巨大，把握正確時機
Were having a ball
高調出演紀實電影
The tank and bullet rule as democracy dies
一舉擊敗灰姑娘成功改變命運
The ladys got potential, she was setting her sights
即使演技糟糕，後台關係過硬
On making it in movies with her name in lights
畢竟事業成敗取決於人際關係
The greatest social climber since Cinderella
有靠山就能名利雙收

一聲炮響，政府聞風喪膽，砰砰！
OK, she couldnt act but she had the right friends
命賤如蠅，拜拜！
And we all know a career depends
背靠牆，瞄準，槍斃！
On knowing the right fella to be stellar
舉國上下為之瘋狂

這才是建立政府的正確之道
Yeah, just one shell and governments lose their nerve, kapow, die
總統背後另有他人操控大局
They stumble and fall, bye bye
手握大權精打細算
Backs to the wall, aim high
此人正是胡安·貝隆將軍，日後的獨裁者
Were having a ball
他於意大利開始軍旅生涯
Thats how we get the government we deserve
親眼見證墨索里尼上台

自以為自己有朝一日也能如此
Now the man behind the President calling the shots
一聲炮響，催淚彈如雨點落下，砰砰！
Involved so discreetly in a lot of their plots
政府毫無勝算，拜拜！
Was Colonel Juan Peron, would be dictator
恐怖分子步步逼近

貝隆卻兵不血刃
He began in the army out in Italy so
按兵不動等待時機
Saw Mussolinis rise from the very front row
直到聖胡安市忽遇地震，砰砰！
I reckon hed do likewise sooner or later
舊政府隨之坍塌，拜拜！

遠離危牆！
Yeah, just one blast and the tear gas falls like rain, kapow, die
有人卻暗中竊喜
They havent a chance, bye bye
悲劇成為貝隆的黃金時機
The terrorists advance
他順勢舉辦慈善音樂會
But one guy doesnt dirty his hands
打著救助傷者的美名旗號
Peron was biding time out in the slow lane
政界要員和藝界明星紛紛到場

那是1944年1月22日
Yeah, suddenly an earthquake hit the town of San Juan, kapow, die
值得銘記的一夜
They stumble and fall, bye bye
貝隆就在此夜邂逅艾娃
Keep away from the wall
貝隆就在此夜邂逅艾娃
But one guy was having a ball
The tragedy, a golden chance for Peron

He organized a concert with incredible flair
In aid of all the victims, such a grand affair
Politicians, actors, stars of every flavor

It was January twenty-second, 1944
A night to remember, yeah, thats for sure
For thats the night that Peron first met Eva
For thats the night that Peron first met Eva
