DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA
(Lloyd Weber/Rice)

This won't be easy
You'll think it's 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 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
Well, I never expected it too

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

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're 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
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise, 
Don't keep your distance
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

 

SPANISH TRANSLATION:


NO LLORES POR MÍ, ARGENTINA
(Lloyd Weber/Rice)

Esto no será fácil
Pensarás que es extraño
Cuando intente explicarte cómo me siento
Y que aún necesito tu amor
Después de todo lo que he hecho

No me creerás
Todo lo que verás
Será una chica que una vez conociste
Aunque esté vestida a la última
Hecha un lío ante ti

Tuve que dejar que ocurriera
Tuve que cambiar
No podía echar a perder toda mi vida
Mirando por la ventana
Estando lejos del sol

Así que elegí la libertad
Corriendo por ahí, probando todo lo nuevo
Pero nada me impresionó en absoluto
Bueno, tampoco lo esperaba

No llores por mí, Argentina
La verdad es que nunca te abandoné
Durante mis días salvajes
Mi loca existencia
Mantuve mi promesa
No mantengas tu distancia

Respecto a la fortuna
Y respecto a la fama
Nunca las invité
Aunque al mundo le pareciera
Que eran todo lo que deseaba

Son ilusiones
No son las soluciones que prometían ser
La respuesta estuvo aquí todo el tiempo
Te amo y espero que tú me ames

No llores por mí, Argentina
La verdad es que nunca te abandoné
Durante mis días salvajes
Mi loca existencia
Mantuve mi promesa
No mantengas tu distancia
Mantuve mi promesa
No mantengas tu distancia
