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 keped my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invided them in
But it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was there all the time
I love you and hope you love me

No llores por mi Argentina
La verdad es que nunca te deje
All through my wild days my mad existence
I keped my promise
Don't keep your distance

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days my mad existence
I keped my promise
Don't keep your distance

I keeped my promise
Don't cry for me Argentina
