Don't Cry for Me Argentina

Hi folks,

Can anyone help me with the lyrics of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" by Katherine Jenkins? The song is part of "Living a Dream" Album.

Thanks.

Listen to the song

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

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

Thank you, Steena. Your lyrics are the one of Madona. But I don't think Katherine Jenkins was singing in plain English. It sounds more Spanish. Hope you have the Spanish version.

Actually the song was written by Tim Rice and A. Loyd Webber in the 70's, long before madonna sang it... the Jenkins' version that I have listened was surely in english, but I've discovered a spanish version by Sarah Brightman from the album Surrender.

NO LLORES POR MI ARGENTINA

Será dificil de comprender
Que a pesar de estar hoy aquí
Soy del pueblo jamás lo podré olvidar
Debéis creerme,
Mis lujos son solamente un disfraz
Un juego burgués, nada más
Las reglas del ceremonial

Tenía que aceptar debí cambiar
Y dejar de vivir en lo gris
Siempre tras la ventana,
Sin lugar bajo el sol
Busqué ser libre,
Pero jamás dejaré de soñar
Y solo podré conseguir
La fe que querrás compartir

No llores por mí Argentina
Mi alma está contigo
Mi vida entera te la dedico
Mas no te alejes, te necesito

Jamás poderes ambicioné
Mentiras dijeron de mí
Mi lugar vuestro es, por vosotros luché
Yo sólo quiero sentiros muy cerca,
Poder intentar
Abrir mi ventana y saber
Que nunca me vais a olvidar

No llores por mí Argentina ...

No llores por mí Argentina
Mi alma está contigo
Mi vida entera te la dedico
Mas no te alejes, te necesito

Qué mas podré decir
Para convenceros de mi verdad
Si aún queréis dudar, mirad mis ojos ved
Cómo lloran de amor
No llores por mí Argentina ...

Sorry for the delay in thanking to you, Ligeia. While listening to my version of the song, I could not match the words I am listening to with the Spanish words as you have so kindly posted. Maybe, Katherine Jenkins was singing in a language I do not understand. If you want, I can email the song to you.

Thanks anyway.
