No Llores Por Mi Argentina [English translation]

It'll be hard to understand

That despite my being here today

I'm of the people and won't ever be able to forget that

You all should believe me; my frills are but a disguise

A bourgeois game, nothing more

Ceremonial norms

I had to accept that I had to change

And stop living in grey

Always behind the windowpane without a place under the sun

I sought to be free, but I'll never stop dreaming

And I'll only have access to the faith that you all choose to share

Don't cry for me Argentina

My soul is with you

My entire life I dedicate to you

But don't go far, I need you

I never sought powers

Lies were told about me

My place is yours, for you all I fought

I just want to feel you near, be able to try

Opening my window and knowing

That you'll never forget me

Don't cry for me Argentina...

Don't cry for me Argentina

My soul is with you

My entire life I dedicate to you

But don't go far, I need you

What more can I say

To convince you of my truth

If you still want to doubt it, look into my eyes, see

How they cry with love

Don't cry for me Argentina...
