Waltz for Eva and Che [Greek translation]

Tell me before I waltz out of your life

Before turning my back on the past

Forgive my impertinent behaviour

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 disappeared?

[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

Or 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 before you slink off to the sidelines

I’ll pay your fair gift three cheers

But first tell me who'd be delighted

To witness me tackle 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?

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
