Lyrics
Será difícil de comprender
que, a pesar de estar ahora aquí,
soy del pueblo y jamás
lo podré olvidar.
Debéis creerme, mis lujos son
solamente un disfraz,
un juego burgués, nada más:
las reglas del ceremonial.
Tenia 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 compartir
la fe que queráis conseguir.
No llores por mi, Argentina,
mi alma esta 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 solo quiero
sentiros muy cerca,
poder intentar
abrir mi ventana y saber
que nunca me van a olvidar.
No llores por mi, Argentina.
No llores por mi, Argentina,
mi alma esta contigo,
mi vida entera te la dedico.
Mas no te alejes,
te necesito.
Qué podré decir
para convenceros de mi verdad.
Si aun podéis dudar
mirad mis ojos como lloran
de amor.
Lyrics translation
It will be difficult to understand
that, despite being here now,
I'm from the village and never
I can forget it.
You must believe me, my luxuries are
just a costume,
a bourgeois game, nothing more:
the rules of the ceremonial.
I had to accept,
I should've changed.
and stop living in the gray,
always behind the window,
no place under the sun.
I sought to be free
but I'll never stop dreaming,
and I can only share
the faith you want to get.
Don't Cry For Me, Argentina,
my soul is with you,
I dedicate my whole life to you.
But don't walk away,
I need you.
I never wanted powers.
They told lies about me.
My place is yours,
I fought for you.
I just want
feel very close,
be able to try
open my window and know
they'll 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 walk away,
I need you.
What can I say
to convince you of my truth.
If you can still doubt
look at my eyes as they cry
of love.
