'Don't Cry For Me Argentina'
(Miami Spanglish Mix)

lLyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber remix produced by Madonna, Pablo Flores, and Javier Garza Time: 7:00

[Evita, Evita, Evita, Evita] [Evita, Evita, Evita]

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange When I try to explain how I feel That I still 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:

No llores por mi Argentina Mi alma esta contigo Mi vida entera, te la dedico Mas no te alejes

Te necesito

Don't cry for me Argentina My soul is with you My whole life, I dedicate to you Don't keep your distance

I need you

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're not the solutions they promise to be The answer was here all the time I love you and hope you love me

(chorus)

Chorus2:

No llores por mi Argentina Jamas yo te he abandonado Aunque en silencio, mi alma te grita Hoy y por siempre [Soy Argentina] Soy Argentina

Don't cry for me Argentina I have never left you Although in silence, my soul cries to you Now and forever [I am Argentina] I am Argentina

[Ahh, so I chose freedom for Argentina, ahh] [No llores por mi]

[Evita, Evita, Evita, Evita] [Evita, Evita, Evita]

So I chose freedom Running around, trying everything new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it to

(chorus) (chorus2)

No llores por mi

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

Who is the original artist for the song and when it was first released?

Argentina Me Cry Dont

Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote this after the death of Evita Peron. The truth is that Argentina DID "cry" for Evita. Her funerary vigil lasted 14 days as told at https://www.mibsasquerido.com.ar/wcelebrities02.htm. The woman was remarkable in her dedication to the people of Argentina and although the Catholic church may have scorned her, to her people she was a "saint", all the negatives about her life were usually penned by her husband's (and directly her) political opponents.

According to the page: https://www.reallyuseful.com/rug/shows/evit.../edward1978.htm

the first performer of the song was Elaine Paige at the Prince Edward in London in 1978.

The opera was not written specifically "for" any one actress. The movie version starred Madonna as Evita.
