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 to



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´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



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



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
