(Eva:)

The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear

She's sad for her country, sad to be defeated

By her own weak body



(Crowds:)

[Evita! Evita!] (repeat in background)



I want to tell the people of Argentina

I've decided I should decline

All the honors and titles you've pressed me to take

For I'm contented

Let me simply go on as the woman who brings her people

To the heart of Peron



Don't cry for me Argentina

The truth is I shall not leave you

Though it may get harder for you to see me

I'm Argentina, and always will be



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
