Don't Cry For Me Argentina
André Rieu & Johann Strauss Orchestra [feat. Mirusia Louwerse] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 seems 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
"Don't Cry For Me Argentina" is a song that was originally written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber as part of the musical Evita, which is based on the life of Eva Perón, the former first lady of Argentina. The song is sung by the character of Eva Perón as a public address to the people of Argentina after her husband's death, assuring the nation that she is still present with them and that her goals and commitments remain as before.
The first verse of the song speaks about how it would be difficult for her to explain how she feels and how she needs the love of the people of Argentina after all she has done, admitting that they may not believe her. She then talks about how she had to let go of her past and make changes to her life, choosing to embrace freedom and try new things which she thought would bring her happiness. However, she eventually realizes that these things do not bring the fulfillment that she expected, and that what she really needs in her life is the love and support of the people of Argentina.
The chorus of the song is a poignant plea to the people of Argentina not to cry for her, as she has never truly left them and has kept her promise to them. She then talks about how she was never interested in fortune and fame, which were mere illusions and not the solutions they promised to be. The answer to her search for happiness was always present in the love that the people of Argentina have for her, and in turn, she promises to love them back.

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
This situation is complicated and difficult to understand
When I try to explain how I feel
I have emotions that are hard to express
That I still need your love after all that I've done
Despite my mistakes, I still need your love
You won't believe me
You may not trust what I say
All you will see is a girl you once knew
You may only see the version of me that you used to know
Although she's dressed up to the nines
Even though I may appear to be different now
At sixes and sevens with you
I feel uncertain and confused about our relationship
I had to let it happen, I had to change
I needed to let go and make changes in my life
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
I couldn't continue living in poverty and with limited opportunities
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
I spent too much time indoors, avoiding the outside world
So I chose freedom
I decided to pursue my own desires and dreams
Running around, trying everything new
I wanted to explore new experiences and possibilities
But nothing impressed me at all
I didn't find anything that truly satisfied me
I never expected it to
I didn't have high hopes for anything new
Don't cry for me Argentina
Please don't feel sorry for me, Argentina
The truth is I never left you
I never forgot my roots and my past experiences with you
All through my wild days
Even when I was living recklessly
My mad existence
When my life was chaotic and unstable
I kept my promise
I stayed true to my commitment to you
Don't keep your distance
Please don't pull away from me now
And as for fortune, and as for fame
Regarding my pursuit of wealth and recognition
I never invited them in
I never actively sought them out
Though it seems to the world they were all I desired
Others may have thought that's what I wanted
They are illusions
Those things are not what they appear to be
They're not the solutions they promised to be
Those things won't solve all my problems
The answer was here all the time
I realized that the solution was with me all along
I love you and hope you love me
I still care for you and hope you feel the same
Have I said too much?
I hope I haven't overwhelmed you with my words
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
I've said all I needed to say
But all you have to do is look at me
If you see how I am now
To know that every word is true
You'll know that everything I'm saying is sincere

How Humankind Came To Be
“...Since it’s the new year, I should have said a few festive words that everyone likes to hear, but I see danger is getting closer and closer to mankind. Because of this, Gods and Buddhas asked me to tell all beings in the world a few words that the Gods wish to say. Every word reveals heavenly secrets, and the purpose is for people to know the truth and be given another opportunity to be saved.”

Why the Creator Seeks to Save All Life
“...The Creator is the Lord of all gods in the cosmic realm, and He is the maker of the Lord of all lords, and the King of all kings. He commands all beings, including all humans, gods, and things in the Three Realms, which He has created. His love is the ultimate holy grace for sentient beings! It is the greatest honor for the world’s people to be loved by Him!”

"Gazing Upon the Moon
Amidst the mountains we take in the moon bright
Joyful are lives under the sky on this night
The Divine Realm is not steeped in human sentiment
Yet cosmic change floods in all the same
The Devil Red now cowers in the Three Realms
And those lives being saved jump with joy
As the fiends who trouble this world are purged
Sacred music can be heard here beneath the moon

A Song of the Sacred
Sacred is the song I sing
The melody emanates energy that stirs the soul
While its words are meant to dispel all that is not right
Most human lives came to this earth from
Heaven, and are here to await the Savior
He is the Creator incarnate, who teaches Dafa
Heed not the mad cries of atheism and evolution
Modern thought and ways lure one towards Hell
The Red Dragon stirs a whirlpool meant to destroy
Stay true to tradition and kindness for sweet blessings
Dafa is a swift vehicle to salvation,
and what your soul has long awaited

Shen Yun Gives Hope
So that all may know the truth
May my song resound far and wide
Most human lives are divinities incarnate
Who await the Creator’s deliverance to Heaven new
We have come to this earth as the universe crumbled
Atheism and evolution are deceitful tricks that harm
Modern thought and ways change us for the worse
The means to salvation is not as we imagined
Who knew Shen Yun had the power to redeem?
Heaven’s gates are open, but shan’t remain for long
This is the Creator’s great blessing
This is the hope of humankind!

Sou japonesa de okinawa
No Brasil querido e amado desde
Bebê qdo meus pais maravilhosos
Decidiram morar nesse país fantástico
Estive na Argentina qdo visitei as
Cataratas do lado Argentino
Nunca me esqueço da beleza exuberante desse lado
E amei o povo argentino
Sua cultura e educação
Assim que passar a pandemia
Quero visitar a Argentina que já amo
