Don't Cry For Me Argentina
James Last And His Orchestra Choir Lyrics

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
I know this will be difficult and you may find it unusual

When I try to explain how I feel
When I attempt to articulate my emotions

That I still need your love after all that I've done
Despite my actions, I still require your affection

You won't believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew
You may be doubtful and only see the person I used to be

Although she's dressed up to the nines
Even though I may look glamorous

At sixes and sevens with you
I feel uncertain and confused around you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
I needed to allow things to unfold and transform

Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
I couldn't remain in a state of poverty and struggle forever

Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
I was once reclusive and avoided the light

So I chose freedom, running around trying everything new
Therefore, I opted for liberation and experimented with various experiences

But nothing impressed me at all
However, nothing captured my attention or admiration

Don't cry for me, Argentina
Please don't weep for me, Argentina

The truth is, I never left you
The reality is, I never abandoned you

All through my wild days, my mad existence
During my chaotic and frenzied existence

I kept my promise
I have fulfilled my commitment

Don't keep your distance
Please don't distance yourself from me

And as for fortune, and as for fame
Regarding wealth and renown

I never invited them in
I never invited them into my life

Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
Although it appeared to the public that those were my aspirations

They are illusions, they're not the solutions they promised to be
They are delusions, not the answers they appeared to offer

The answer was here all the time
The solution was always here

I love you, and hope you love me
I love you and I desire your love in return

Have I said too much?
Have I been too verbose?

There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
I cannot fathom any more words to express myself to you

But all you have to do is look at me to know
Simply gaze at me and you will comprehend

That every word is true
That every expression is veritable
