No Llores Por Mi Argentina
Nacha Guevara
Don't Cry for Me Argentina
It will be hard to understand
that despite being here now
I am of the people and I will never forget it.
You must believe me
my luxuries are just a disguise
just a bourgeois game
the rules of the ceremonial.
I had to accept
I had to change
and stop living in the gray
always behind the window
with no place under the sun
I sought to be free
but I will never stop dreaming
and I can only share
the faith you want to achieve.
Don't cry for me Argentina
my soul is with you
I dedicate my whole life to you
but don't go away
I need you.
I never aspired to power
lies were told about me
my place is yours
I fought for you
I just want
to feel you very close
to be able to try
to open my window and know
that you will never forget me.
Don't cry for me Argentina.
Don't cry for me Argentina
my soul is with you
I dedicate my whole life to you
but don't go away
I need you.
What can I say
to convince you
of my truth
If you can still doubt
look at my eyes
how they cry
with love.
