(Don't cry for me Argentina - Spanish version)
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 ...
Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Lyrics: Tim Rice.
Spanish lyrics: Ignacio Artime and Jaime Azpilicueta.
Show: "Evita" (1976/78).
This song, too, has been part of Sarah's concert repertoire for a long time, but never before in Spanish. This is the first version to be recorded with the original orchestration since the concept album in 1976. [from the CD-booklet]
From: Surrender, The unexpected songs (1995)
and:
Love Changes Everything - The Andrew Lloyd
Webber Collection, vol. 2 (2005).
Source of the lyrics: thanks to Carlos Edmar de Almeida Souza, with
corrections by Susana Marin de Rawlinson, Carlos Pineda and Fabian
Cervantes.
Carlos also provided a translation in English:
Don't cry for me ArgentinaThis English translation is at some points quite different from the original English lyrics from Evita, which is not a surprise since the translators had to adapt the lyrics a bit so that the Spanish words would fit in the rhythm and make the song sound good in Spanish.It will be difficult to understand
That even though I am here today
I am from the people, and I will never forget it
You must believe me, my luxuries are only a disguise
A snob game, nothing more
The rules of the ceremonial
I had to accept and change myself
And stop living in mediocrity
Always behind the window, with no place under the sun
I tried to be free, but I never stopped dreaming
And I can only get the faith you want to share
Don't cry for me Argentina
My soul is with you
My whole life through I dedicate to you
But do not go away, I need you
I never wanted power, they lied about me
My place is yours, I fought for you
I only want to feel you near me
To open my window and know
That you'll never forget me
Don't cry for me Argentina
Don't cry for me Argentina ...
Don't cry for me Argentina
My soul is with you
My whole life through I dedicate to you
But do not go away, I need you
What else can I say to convince you
that I am speaking the truth?
If you still want to protect yourself,
Look into my eyes and see how they cry for love
Don't cry for me Argentina ...
Sarah sings the original lyrics of Don't cry for me Argentina on her CD The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection (1997). and also on: Sings the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber (1992).
