Letra Eva and Magaldi (Eva beware of the city)
Album: Evita (disco 1)
Artista: Madonna
|
(Eva:)
To think that a man as famous as you are
could love a poor little nothing like me.
Chorus
(Eva:)
I wanna be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
(Eva´s family:)
she wants to be a part of B.A.
buenos Aires, Big Apple.
(Che:)
Just listen to that, they´re on to 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.
(Eva´s family:)
What´s that? You´d desert the girl you love?
(Magaldi:)
The girl I love?
what are you talking about?
(Eva´s family:)
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 noone´s told the papers, so far.
(Eva:)
I wanna be a part of B.A.
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.
(Eva´s brother:)
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 connections, 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!
my father´s other family were middle class
and we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral.
(Eva´s brother:)
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.
Chorus
(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 B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple.
(Eva and family:)
She´s gonna be a part of B.A.
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 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. |
