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
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I shall not leave you
Though it'll make it harder
for you to see me
I'm Argentina
(I'm Argentina)
and always will be
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 cry for me Argentina
The truth is I shall not leave you
Though it'll make it harder
for you to see me
I'm Argentina
(I'm Argentina)
I'm Argentina
Don't cry for me
