Buenos Aires
Madonna · Evita OST CD1
What's new Buenos Aires?
I'm new, I wanna say I'm just a little stuck on you
You'll be on me too
I get out here, Buenos Aires
Stand back, you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality
Fill me up with your heat, with your noise
With your dirt, overdo me
Let me dance to your beat, make it loud
Let it hurt, run it through me.
Don't hold back, you are certain to impress
Tell the driver this is where I'm staying
Hello, Buenos Aires
Get this, just look at me dressed up, somewhere to go
We'll put on a show
Take me in at your flood, give me speed
Give me lights, set me humming
Shoot me up with your blood, wine me up
With your nights, watch me coming
All I want is a whole lot of excess
Tell the singer this is where I'm playing
Stand back, Buenos Aires
Because you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality
And if ever I go too far
It's because of the things you are
Beautiful town, I love you
And if I need a moment's rest
Give your lover the very best
Real eiderdown and silence.
[musical interlude]
You're a tramp, you're a treat
You will shine to the death, you are shoddy
But you're flesh, you are meat
You shall have every breath in my body
Put me down for a lifetime of success
Give me credit, I'll find ways of paying
Rio de la Plata
Florida, Corrientes, Nueve de Julio
All I want to know
Stand back, Buenos Aires
Because you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of star quality
Buenos Aires - Madonna
Madonna's "Buenos Aires" serves as the thematic centerpiece of the Evita Original Soundtrack, capturing the romance and political intrigue of the Argentine dictator's life. Recorded in the late 1990s, the track blends pop sensibilities with orchestral arrangements to evoke the atmosphere of 19th-century Buenos Aires. As part of the Evita OST CD1, the song functions as a narrative device, illustrating the complex relationship between Eva Perón and Juan Perón through its evocative melody and lyrical content. The recording reflects Madonna's continued exploration of historical figures and dramatic storytelling within her discography, maintaining her signature theatricality while adhering to the constraints of a film score. Released alongside other tracks from the soundtrack, the song stands as a significant song in her catalog of cinematic collaborations.
