No llores por mi Argentina

It'll be hard to understand
that even though I'm here now
I’m from the people and I’ll never forget.

You have to believe me
my luxuries are just a disguise
a bourgeois game, nothing more
the rules of the ceremony.

I had to accept
I should have changed
and stopped living in the gray
always behind the window
with no place in the sun
I sought to be free
but I’ll 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 drift away
I need you.

I never craved power
lies were told about me
your place is mine
I fought for you
I just want
to feel you close
to try to
open my window and know
that I’ll never be forgotten.

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 drift away
I need you.

What can I say
to convince you
of my truth?
If you can still doubt
look into my eyes
how they cry
with love.
