Down Argentine Way

---

You'll find your life will begin

The very moment you're in Argentina

Where there are rumbas

and tangos to tickle your spine

Moonlight and music and orchids and wine

You'll want to stay

Down Argentina way

( "South American Way")

(sings in Portuguese)

(song continues)

In the grand and glorious,

gay, notorious South American way

(man) A un lado. Pnganse a un lado.

Suban al muelle. Anden. Suban al muelle.

Bonito, vas a tener un viaje muy bueno,

pero no te marees, eh? No te marees.

Bonito.

Here are the prices

I wish you to get for the horses, my son.

Wishing is one thing, but what will you take?

- When you win an event, double the price.

- If I lose, should I cut it in half?

If you lose, muchacho, cut yourself in half.

Ricardo, have the same success you had at

the London horse show and I'll be very happy.

Don Diego. Don Diego.

For you this was delivered at the estancia.

See this thing come for you.

You see, I did not open it.

(Diego) Esteban!

Esteban!

- Me llam usted, seor?

- Unload the horses.

Unload the horses?

Si. Unload the horses.

Get every one of them off the ship.

Si, seor.

Enseguida, que bajen los caballos pronto.

- Why do you change your plans, Papa?

- That cable.

The woman is interested in buying

some horses. Why is that so terrible?

I would rather kill every one of my horses

than have that woman get hold of them.

Why, is she as bad as that?

I do not know her, but her brother,

Willis Crawford, is a scoundrel.

We were at school together in Paris.

I trusted him and he cheated me.

Well, tell me what he did to you

and then we can hate him together.

I do not consider this

a matter forjoking, Ricardo.

Papa, why do you change your plans because

of somebody you have not seen for years?

If he or his sister attempts to buy

any of the horses, I won't sell to them.

- Perhaps you are right.

- Why, certainly.

- And the passage is paid for?

- Why, yes.

Esteban.

- Esteban!

- Si, seor.

Esteban, I have changed my mind.

Load the horses.

Lo-lo-load the horses?

Si, load the horses.

Suban los caballos pronto.

Suban los caballos, aprisa.

Suban los caballos, pronto.

Pronto, suban los caballos.

(fanfare)

What are you doing here?

You have to get ready for your event.

I have plenty of time, Dad.

I had to see this event.

Carmelita, you show off for all the judges.

Vamos!

- Wonderful, isn't he?

- Do you mean the man or the beast?

- Beautiful.

- You're not thinking of buying that animal?

Of course not.

What would I do with him? I have 12.

That's what you said when you had 11.

Seor, that's the most

beautiful jumping I've seen all year.

Muchas gracias, seorita.

Carmelita is a great horse.

- I don't suppose she's for sale?

- Oh, yes. That is exactly what she is.

Oh, she's really something.

I don't see how you can sell her.

That is the trouble with breeding - you keep

getting more horses, and some you must sell.

What are you asking?

She was 10,000 before she won,

but now she's 20.

I'll give you five.

It would give me great pleasure for you

to have the horse, but that is impossible.

- Shall we say 15?

- Five.

Oh, seorita... I have it.

In as much as you were interested in her

before her victory, you can have her for ten.

Five. This is your last chance.

Well, you... you drive a hard bargain, seorita,

but if you will have dinner with me...

I have an engagement at the Westchester.

- A martini before dinner?

- Fine. Nine o'clock at the Westchester.

- All right. Good luck, seorita.

- Thank you.

Muy bien, Carmelita. Muy bien.

Te portaste como nunca.

Now, seor, you can sell her for a fortune.

I have already sold her, Esteban, for $5,000...

and a martini.

(Ricardo) Florecer un querer

Si llega usted a ir a ver Argentina

Su corazn gozar

entonces le gustar Argentina

Deleitar su vivir

al contestar con "Si, si" dulcemente

Un amorcito tendr

que con cario dir lo que siente

Cuando oigo yo te amo

No diga usted que no

Porque de cualquier modo

un beso le dar

Yusted lo aceptar

Yno podr esconder

que llegar a querer Argentina

Donde los tangos oir

y al comps bailar

Con gran placer se lo digo otra vez

Se quedar

Si a la Argentina va

Moonlight

I see millions of twinkling stars

Evening

When a breeze becomes a sigh

Music

I hear millions of soft guitars

Underneath the pampas moon

Where you hum a happy tune

And you kiss your cares

Goodbye

You'll find

Your life will begin

The very moment you're in Argentina,

tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, tsk-tsk

If you're romantic, seor, then you will

surely adore Argentina, tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, tsk-tsk

You'll be as gay as can be if you will learn

to "Si, si" like a Latin, tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, tsk-tsk

For, mister, soon as you learn

then you will never return to Manhattan

When you hear yo te amo

You'll steal a kiss and then

If she should say maana

It's just to let you know

you're gonna meet again

I'll bet an old castanet that you will never

forget Argentina, tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, tsk-tsk

Where there are rumbas

and tangos to tickle your spine

Moonlight and music and orchids and wine

You'll want to stay

Down Argentina way

Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk

Tsk

You'll find your life will begin

The very moment you're in Argentina,

tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, tsk-tsk

If you're romantic, seor,

then you will surely adore Argentina

Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, tsk-tsk

You'll be as gay as can be if you will learn

to "Si, si" like a Latin, tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, tsk-tsk

For, mister, soon as you learn

then you will never return to Manhattan

Cuando oiga yo te amo

You'll steal a kiss and then

Porque de cualquier modo

It's just to let you know

that you're gonna meet again

I'll bet an old castanet

That you will never forget Argentina

Where there are rumbas

and tangos to tickle your spine

Moonlight and music and orchids and wine

You'll want to stay

Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk

Glenda said it would only take a minute.

What sort of a deal is this?

- It's a horse trade.

- Well, I don't like it.

Write to your Congressman.

It comes under international relations.

I've bought many horses,

but it's never been done this way.

Once you have tried this,

you will never go back to the old way.

No. I think we will be

much more comfortable over there, huh?

- Will we?

- Yes.

I have very much to tell you.

My plane leaves for Buenos Aires in an hour.

I cannot miss it. Therefore I must talk fast.

- I'll try not to delay you.

- Seorita... if...

Aren't you getting into rather deep water?

Why should I deny it?

I'm in over my head already.

The first time I looked into

your remarkable eyes,

I knew that I was lost.

I've flown over the high mountains,

I've gone down narrow rapids,

I've even loved other women,

but never have I been so dizzy,

so-so helpless as I am at this very moment.

It is like a sudden storm over the pampas.

You think you can run. Before you know it,

it is upon you, sweeping you off your feet,

and your heart,

your heart is beating like the storm.

It may frighten you,
