Don't Cry for Me, Argentina
Madonna
It won't be easy,
you'll think it 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, at 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 chose freedom,
running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all. I never expected it to
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 seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions, they are 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. 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
“阿根廷，别为我哭泣”(Don‘t Cry for Me Argentina)是1996年电影《贝隆夫人》(Evita)的主题曲。
该片由歌坛天后麦当娜（Madonna）和安东尼奥．班德拉斯（Antonio Banderas）主演，描写的是阿根廷的第一夫人——艾薇塔的悲欢离合、大起大落、享尽荣华富贵，也尝遍心酸坎坷的一生：她出生贫寒，但对未来充满憧憬，但在那个时代，经过不懈的努力，具有美丽容颜的她很快在一个摄影师的镜头下成名，从此辗转在富人和官员中，直到她遇到贝隆上校——一个声望上升的军官，她才脱颖而出，成为耀眼的政治明星。
她在帮助丈夫当选之后成为阿根廷第一夫人，她为穷人谋求福利，并且提升了妇女的权利，成立了佩隆派妇女党，被誉为“阿根廷国母”，深受爱戴，在帮助丈夫连任之后因子宫癌去世，享年不过33岁，葬礼场面十分隆重。
这首曲子是对阿根廷的人民来讲的,表达自己并不是为了金钱和荣誉，而是真正的热爱着这个国家。
这首主题歌是《贝隆夫人》原声带歌曲中流传最广的一首，曲中写尽了女主角对祖国阿根廷的一往情深和她个人渴望改革的坚强志意，在西方的流行歌曲中是一首掷地有声之作，也是一首包含民族情感与波澜壮阔的史诗气派的不朽之作。荣获第六十九届奥斯卡最佳电影歌曲奖。
这首被多名歌手演绎过，前后大概有9个版本，比较有名的算Sinead O\'Connor，Sarah brightman和Madonna三个版本
