Wein' nicht um mich, Argentinien [English translation]

Can you believe and understand me

when I tell you what I feel for you?

Even after all that was and what I did,

I need you and your love

You knew me as I owned nothing at all

I was also the one who, even in luxury,

never forgot you for one second

It could not go this way for life

[being] always poor, being a nobody

Staring from the window, standing in the shadow

I had to be free, everything that was new

I had tried at that point

Today I realize and admit:

Nothing about it all impressed me

Do not cry for me, Argentina

My life was also so wild

I always remained loyal only to you

Till the end; reach out your hands to me

And where it concerns fame and wealth,

I never invited them to my house

Everyone believes that my heart hinges upon nothing else [other than them]

Those are only illusions

However, there is never an answer for me

to the single question that matters:

Do you still love me so much, like I love you?

Don't cry for me, Argentina

(Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah)

Do not cry for me, Argentina

My life was also so wild

I always remained loyal only to you

Till the end; reach out your hands to me

I have said all that is there to be said

Maybe it was even too much

If you would just once take a look at me

you would also know, every single word is true!
