I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

The choice was mine and mine completely
I could have any prize that I desired
I could burn with the splendor of the brightest fire
Or else I could choose time
Remember I was very young then
And a year was forever and a day
So what use could fifty, sixty, seventy be?
I saw the lights and I was on my way.

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

And how I lived!
How they shone!
But how soon the lights were gone!

Don't cry for me Argentina
For I am ordinary, unimportant
And undeserving of such attention
Unless we all are--I think we all are

She had her moments--she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
But that's all gone now--

Juan Duarte had two families: one he kept in Chivilcoy with his wife, and one he kept in La Unión with Juana Ibaguren. Eva Maria was the youngest of this illegitimate union between Duarte and Ibaguren, born on May 7, 1919.

Eva's world was changed after her father died on January 8, 1926. Prevented from going to Duarte's funeral by his legitimate, middle-class family, dragged out when she tried to enter the church, Eva became painfully aware of the separation between the classes. This upset her, and from that point on she held nothing but disdain for the middle class and nothing but grief at the knowledge that there were wealthy and poor.

Her family eventually moved to the town of Junín, where her mother started a boarding house. Eva assists her family in running the boarding house, but every day her desire to leave for Buenos Aires to persue her vocation of the arts grows too strong for her to ignore.
