Don't Cry for Me Argentina
Embracing Change: A Journey of Love and Liberation
Lyrics
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
Expressing that explaining her feelings will be challenging and peculiar.
When I try to explain how I feel
Referencing the difficulty in articulating her emotions.
That I still need your love after all that I've done
Despite her actions, she still craves and requires your love.
You won't believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew
Stating that you won't recognize her due to the changes she's undergone.
Although she's dressed up to the nines
Describing her external appearance as refined but feeling disarrayed internally.
At sixes and sevens with you
Feeling confused or disoriented in the relationship.
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Accepting the necessity for change in her life.
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Refusing to remain in a disadvantaged or lowly position indefinitely.
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
Observing the world outside while avoiding direct exposure to sunlight.
So I chose freedom, running around trying everything new
Opting for freedom and exploring new experiences.
But nothing impressed me at all
None of the new experiences managed to impress her.
I never expected it to
She didn’t anticipate being impressed by these experiences.
Don't cry for me, Argentina
Asking not to cry for her as she addresses Argentina.
The truth is, I never left you
Revealing that despite appearances, she never truly left.
All through my wild days, my mad existence
Reflecting on her tumultuous past and erratic lifestyle.
I kept my promise
Promising to maintain a connection despite circumstances.
Don't keep your distance
Asking not to keep a distance despite the changes.
And as for fortune, and as for fame
Rejecting the allure of wealth and fame.
I never invited them in
Declaring that these were not her true desires.
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
Though they seemed desirable, these were merely illusions.
They are illusions, they're not the solutions they promised to be
Highlighting that these solutions did not live up to their promises.
The answer was here all the time
Realizing that love was the solution she needed all along.
I love you, and hope you love me
Expressing love and the desire for reciprocal affection.
Don't cry for me, Argentina
Reiterating the plea not to cry for her, addressing Argentina.
Don't cry for me, Argentina
Repeated plea not to cry for her, emphasizing her continued presence.
The truth is, I never left you
Reaffirming that she never truly left despite perceptions.
All through my wild days, my mad existence
Reflecting on her past and chaotic lifestyle.
I kept my promise
Reiterating the promise to maintain a connection despite circumstances.
Don't keep your distance
Asking not to maintain distance despite changes in her.
Have I said too much?
Questioning if she has revealed too much.
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
Expressing that there's nothing more to convey verbally.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
Asserting that her sincerity is evident through her appearance.
That every word is true
Stating the truthfulness of her words and emotions.
