Don't Cry For Me Argentina Lyrics

Performed by Madonna

[Eva:]
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

[Chorus:]

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 are 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

[chorus]

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

Yes,"The song means something different to everybody", For me it's all about freedom :"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"
and I'll chose freedom again and again and again.

Answer to Lucy | Reviewer: Agustina | 5/6/11

After evita dead, Juan Peron started a sort of depresion. He called everything as her. Even, he created a place called: Ciudad Evita.
In 1955 the militia took the government of Argentina and then Perón was exilied. He came back with his new bride, María Estela "Isabel" Perón. When they came back, they had postulated to President and Vicepresident of Argentina. They won, but their politics were differents than in the first governments. He helped rich people before doing that with poor people. He died, Isabelita became President, and then the militia (1976) took the power again, calling this act "Proceso de reorganización social", the most horrible years of the Argentina story. Now, the militars that were in the power of this years, and that made dissapair thousends of childs and babies, are being judged.

you must be kidding | Reviewer: No Name | 8/6/10

Im argentinian too, and this is not about history, this is about politics, all the "peronistas" are covered nazis, they did awfull things to this country and their main mecanism to win elections was to gain the love from the poor people so they would vote for them.. yes, they started that political trend..and they were kinda nazis. if you're interested please research, if you're not then keep singing a song about someone who's reminded for what she did well and not for what she started

Evita Peron | Reviewer: Mayra Mejia | 7/16/10

Eva Peron known as the "Spiritual Leader of the Nation" was one of the greatest women
in Latin American history. She was an extraordinary young woman with a great passion for justice and freedom for her people; an undeniable warrior. She died of cancer at the tender age of 33 which was unfortunate. "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" was written for musical Evita Evita. A patriotic song for a true warrior. Amazing!

For Edward | Reviewer: Eva | 5/18/10

If you know the story of Evita then you'll get it. If you don't, then heres a quick summary. There is this girl named Eva Duarte, she lives in Argentina. She falls in love with Magaldi, and begs him to take her to Beunos Aries. There she dumps Magaldi, she dates a photographer just for photos, and a radio producer to get on the radio. She dumps them both. Then she meets her true love Juan Peron. He is in the army. She marries him soon and helps him win President of Argentina. Since she does the people of Argentina fall in love with her. She sings this song to the people of Argentina to express her joy. Also, what i think is that she's only doing that to get them to her side. Now to madonna. now don't get mad at me but, i think that madonna should stay in pop. she's a great singer but she isn't meant for musical theatre. The people of Argentina were very mad at the casting for their "Savior". they were insulted that Madonna was cast as Eva Peron. I don't think that when we think of Eva Peron, that we think of Madonna. I'm in a production of Evita and the woman that plays Eva Peron is WAYYY better than Madonna. Again, i'm not saying Madonna is a bad singer, i'm saying she should stick to pop.
