Loading...

[isabel]
alone! there is no escaping it
i’m alone among strangers
familiar enemies at best
why did we come back, juan?
even spain was a happier place
why did you leave me, so soon, so unprepared?

the people don’t like me, juan!
i’m no evita, i know it well!
and you told me it would be hard
but without you, it’s impossible
it was foolish
you knew i couldn’t do it
but after so many years
you still couldn’t trust anyone else

i’ll never understand
now you are gone
and everyonе’s loyal, but n0body is a friend
everyone wants somеthing from me
and i just want to be left alone

[ministro]
sister isabel, can we talk?
[isabel]
what is it, brother josé?

[ministro]
you look so pale, you are shivering
you are not well!

[isabel]
i’m fine, i just need some sleep
what’s on your mind?

[ministro]
no! i can see you’re not well
your health comes first
the matters of state will have to wait
i’ll handle them myself

[isabel]
what matters of state?
brother josé, please stay
i need to know!

[ministro]
the country needs you more than ever, sister isabel
up in the north, in tucumán
the insurgents control the mountains
they are fanning the flames
of a communist revolution
the time has come to act decisively!
i just met with the commanders in chief
the armed forces need… “permission”
to act on your behalf
to rid the country of the guerrilla
(spoken)
i have prepared a presidential decree
for you to sign

[isabel]
is this, then, what you think must be done?

[ministro]
it’s what the generals advise, sister isabel

[isabel]
yes, but what do you think?

[ministro]
it’s for the good of the fatherland

[isabel]
i hear that the people in tucumán
support the subversives
that they harbor them and give them food
i know them, i met with them!
they were once the promise of our movement
they are young and bright
middle class kids, really
how did it ever get to this?
[ministro]
the subversives are stealing food from the peasants
the people in tucumán are being terrorized

[isabel]
and who will assure me that the army
will not terrorize the people?

[ministro]
will you let communism overtake evita’s dream?

[isabel]
no, no!
but i don’t trust the generals

[ministro]
but you can trust me, sister isabel
have i ever led you astray?

[isabel]
this isn’t right!
perón taught me that
i should always ask for alternatives
what are our options?

[ministro]
evita gave the people
a dream without… “options,” without compromise
will you compromise with the communists?

[isabel]
but these are our own people
the kids that perón expelled
from the plaza de mayo!

[ministro]
they are traitors, sister isabel!
they are waging a war against us
against evita’s dream
there can be no mercy for them
you must consent!

[isabel]
but how could i ever consent
to the murder of our young?

[ministro]
i see, sister isabel
that the flame of evita’s dream
no longer burns in your heart

[isabel]
you would accuse me of disloyalty?

[ministro]
i want what’s best for the fatherland
you… have doubts

[isabel]
no, this is wrong!
perón and evita
would have never consented to this!

[ministro]
may their spirits guide you, sister isabel
in this difficult moment

[isabel]
i have indeed sought their guidance
but they are silent…
ever since we brought the corpse back
n0body can make them speak now

[ministro]
i can, sister isabel
if you feel that it would you make up your mind
