This won't be easy,

you'll think it's 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 -

for 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 choose freedom.

Running around, trying everything new.

But nothing impressed me at all.

I never expected it too.

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 appeared, to the world,

they were all I desired.

They are illusions,

they're 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.

The truth is I never left you.

All through my wild days

My mad existence

I kept my promise, don't keep your distance.
