Don't Cry For Me Argentina
Rieu André 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
In the song "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" by Rieu André, the singer is reflecting on a transformation in their life and addressing their audience, asking them not to feel sorrow or pity for them. The lyrics convey a sense of honesty and vulnerability as the singer attempts to explain their feelings and the choices they have made.
The opening lines, "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," suggest that the singer is aware of the difficulty in conveying their emotions and justifying their actions. They acknowledge that there may be skepticism or disbelief from those who knew them before, but they still yearn for love and acceptance.
The verse continues with the singer explaining that they had to make a change in their life, emphasizing the need for personal growth and not staying in a stagnant or unhappy situation. They describe how they embraced freedom and new experiences, yet nothing truly impressed them. This suggests that the singer may have pursued different paths or indulged in various endeavors, but ultimately, those experiences lacked significance or fulfillment.
The refrain, "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," appeals to the audience to understand that despite their choices and adventures, they have always remained loyal and committed to their roots. The mention of Argentina may symbolize their connection to their homeland or personal values.
The next verse touches upon the themes of fortune and fame, expressing that they were not the ultimate desires or solutions they appeared to be. The singer highlights the illusory nature of these external trappings, suggesting that they never sought them out and instead realized that the answer to their needs and happiness was within the love of the people they care about.
The song concludes with the singer questioning if they have shared too much, implying that the emotions expressed are deeply personal and meaningful. They assert that simply by looking at them, the audience can discern the authenticity of their words.
Overall, "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" is a heartfelt reflection on personal growth, the pursuit of happiness, and the importance of remaining true to oneself and the people who matter.

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
This won't be a simple explanation, you may find it unusual
When I try to explain how I feel
When I attempt to express my emotions
That I still need your love after all that I've done
That I am still in need of your love despite my actions
You won't believe me
You will have doubts and won't trust me

You will only perceive the girl you used to know
Although she's dressed up to the nines
Even though she appears elegant and glamorous
At sixes and sevens with you
She feels uncertain and confused in your presence
I had to let it happen, I had to change
I had no choice but to allow it to occur, I needed to transform
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
I couldn't remain in a lowly or discontented state forever
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
Observing life from a distance, avoiding brightness and warmth
So I chose freedom
Therefore, I opted for liberty
Running around, trying everything new
Engaging in various experiences and experimenting
But nothing impressed me at all
Yet, nothing managed to captivate or amaze me
I never expected it to
I never anticipated that it would
Don't cry for me Argentina
Please, refrain from shedding tears on my behalf, Argentina

I kept my promise
I stayed true to my word
Don't keep your distance
Please, don't maintain your separation from me
And as for fortune, and as for fame
Regarding wealth and popularity
I never invited them in
I never welcomed them into my life
Though it seems to the world they were all I desired
Although it may appear to the world that they were my utmost desires
They are illusions
They are mere illusions or falsehoods
They're not the solutions they promised to be
They do not provide the solutions they pledged to offer
The answer was here all the time
The solution was present all along
I love you and hope you love me
I love you and have faith in your love for me
Don't cry for me Argentina
Please, refrain from shedding tears on my behalf, Argentina

Please, don't maintain your separation from me
Have I said too much?
Have I revealed an excessive amount of information?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
I can't think of anything else to communicate to you
But all you have to do is look at me
Yet, all you need to do is gaze upon me
To know that every word is true
To understand that every word I speak 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
