It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel,
That I still need your love after all that I've done.
You won't believe me,
All you will see is a girl you once knew,
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you.
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 too.
[Chorus]
Don't cry for me Argentina !
The truth is I never left you,
All through my wild days,
My mad existence.
I kept my promise,
Don't keep your distance.
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 are not the solutions they promised to be.
The answer was here all the time,
I love you and hope you love me.
Don't cry for me Argentina...
[Chorus]
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true...
