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
[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
[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
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
