Madonna - Evita - 16 Waltz for Eva and Che (1996)

[Che:]
Tell me before I waltz out of your life
Before turning my back on the past
Forgive my impertinent behavior
But how long do you think this pantomime can last?
Tell me before I ride off in the sunset
There's one thing I never got clear
How can you claim you're our savior
When those who oppose you are stepped on,
Or cut up, or simply disappear?

[Eva:]
Tell me before you get onto your bus
Before joining the forgotten brigade
How can one person like me, say,
Alter the time-honored way the game is played?
Tell me before you get onto your high horse
Just what you expect me to do
I don't care what the bourgeoisie say
I'm not in business for them
But to give all my descamisados
A magical moment or two

[Che and Eva:]
There is evil, ever around
Fundamental system of government
Quite incidental

[Eva:]
So what are my chances of honest advances?
I'd say low
Better to win by admitting my sin
Than to lose with a halo

[Che:]
Tell me before I seek worthier pastures
And thereby restore self-esteem
How can you be so short-sighted
To look never further than this week or next week
To have no impossible dream?

[Eva:]
Allow me to help you slink off to the sidelines
And mark your adieu with three cheers
But first tell me who'd be delighted
If I said I'd take on the world's greatest problems
From war to pollution, no hope of solution
Even if I lived for one hundred years

[Che and Eva:]
There is evil, ever around
Fundamental system of government
Quite incidental

[Eva:]
So go, if you're able, to somewhere unstable
And stay there
Whip up your hate in some tottering state
But not here, dear
Is that clear, dear?

[Eva:]
Oh what I'd give for a hundred years
But the physical interferes
Every day more, O my Creator
What is the good of the strongest heart
In a body that's falling apart?
A serious flaw, I hope You know that

Happy 92nd Birthday Evita. You are greatly missed and forever in the hearts of the Argentine people

I could watch this scene forever and never get bored. Ok, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point.

The most AMAZING and poignant scene from the entire production/movie. Flawlessly enacted by Antonio and The Queen.

@liketammysaids If your going to post, the idea is that you have a point.

[liketammysaids]

@Manoo62 Yeah like your mum

I really can't understand why people hate her voice! Just listen to this: she's a good sing, yes, and her voice sounds brilliant, warm, strong, definitely beautiful! She can sing, yes, it doesn't matter if it was necessary to retake a lot of times, as some people say. It's ridiculous. When any singer is recording an album, of course she or he retakes many times it's necessary, and no matter! The important is her voice, the timbre, the colour of a voice ad Madonna has them well.
