Don't Cry For Me Argentina是奧斯卡獲獎影片《貝隆夫人》主題曲,阿根廷第二國歌,阿根廷足球隊悲傷之曲。出自《艾薇塔》(Evita)一部很著名的音樂劇,是一出由蒂姆·賴斯與安德魯·勞埃德·韋伯共同制作的音樂劇。阿根廷前第一夫人伊娃·裴隆(Eva Peron,即艾薇塔)也稱貝隆夫人從一個受盡社會歧視的私生女到權傾阿根廷的主政者的傳奇一生。在阿根廷采用各種方式去紀念一位已經故去了60年的女人,這個人就是20世紀知名的第一夫人——艾薇塔·貝隆,即貝隆夫人。有了這部音樂劇,我們才知道她是誰。
歌詞
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
Chorus:
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
(chorus)
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
翻譯
那并不容易你甚至會覺得奇怪
當我試著解釋我的感受
在我做了這一切之后
我仍然需要你的愛
你不會相信我
你將看見的是個你曾經認識的女孩
雖然她濃妝艷抹和你爭辯不休
我不得不這樣做
我得做些改變
不能讓我得一生窮困潦倒望著窗外
始終照不到太陽因此
我選擇了自由四處奔波
嘗試每一件新鮮的事但
沒有什么能讓我留下深刻的印象
我從未如此期待過
阿根廷 別為我哭泣事實上
我從未離開過你
在我狂妄的歲月里和我瘋狂的作為
我依然信守諾言不要遠離我
不管是名與利 我不曾有所求
盡管對全世界來說
它們正是我所追求的
它們都是幻象它們
不能解決一切
它們所承諾的答案
一直都擺在眼前我愛你
也期望你愛我
我說得太多了嗎
我已經想不出什么話來
對你說但你所需要做的就是看著我
明白我說的每個字都是真的
