Don't Cry For Me Argentina
Nair Lyrics

It won't be easy, you'll think it's strange
I know what I have to say may be hard for you to understand

When I try to explain how I feel
I want to express my true emotions to you

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

You won't believe me
You may doubt the sincerity of my words

All you will see is a girl you once knew
You may only see the person I used to be, not the one I have become

Although she's dressed up to the nines
Even though I may appear more put together and polished

At sixes and sevens with you
I still feel confused and uncertain about our relationship

I had to let it happen, I had to change
I had to let go of the past and embrace change

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

Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
I was trapped and afraid to take risks or face the outside world

So I chose freedom
I decided to break free from my limitations and explore life

Running around, trying everything new
I went on a journey of self-discovery, experimenting with new experiences

But nothing impressed me at all
Despite my adventures, nothing truly fulfilled me

I never expected it to
I didn't anticipate that I would still feel unfulfilled

Don't cry for me Argentina
Please don't pity me, my beloved country

The truth is I never left you
Even though I went on a personal journey, I still hold my country dear to my heart

All through my wild days
Throughout my adventurous years

My mad existence
My crazy, unpredictable lifestyle

I kept my promise
I never forgot my roots and my loyalty to my homeland

Don't keep your distance
Please don't stay away from me due to my past actions

And as for fortune, and as for fame
Money and popularity were never my true goals

I never invited them in
I never actively pursued wealth and fame

Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
Even though it appeared as though I wanted these things, I didn't

They are illusions
They are not the key to true happiness

They're not the solutions they promised to be
Money and fame can't solve all life's problems

The answer was here all the time
The true answer to my happiness was with me all along

I love you and hope you love me
I still have strong feelings for my country and its people

The truth is I shall not leave you
I will always be a part of Argentina

Though it may get harder for you to see me
Even if I am physically gone, I am still present in spirit

I'm Argentina
My identity and love will always be tied to my country of origin
