1. 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 the girl you once knew,
although she`s dressed up to the nines, at sixes and sevens with you.
2. 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.
3. 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`re not the solutions they promised to be,
the answers were here all the time, I love you and hope you love me.
