it won't be easy.
u'll think it strange.
when i try to explain how i feel.
that i still need ur love.
after all that i've done.
u won't believe me.
all u will see is a girl u once knew.
although she's dressed up to the nines.
at sixes sevens with u.

i had to let it happen.
i had to change.
couldn't stay all my life down that hell.
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 u.
all through my wild days.
my mad existence.
i kept my promise.
don't keep ur distance.

and as for fortune,and as for fame.
i never invited them in.
they are illusions.
they're not the solutions.
they promised to be.
the answer was here all the time.
i love u hope u love me.

don't cry for me argentina !

don't cry for me argentina !
the truth is i never left u.
all through my wild days.
my mad existence.
i kept my promise.
don't keep ur distance.

have i said too much ?
there's nothing more i can think of to say to u.
but all u have to do is look at me to know.
that every word is true.
