Glee Cast - Don't Cry For Me Argentina Lyrics

I really like how Lea goes higher on the last note instead of lower. She's the only one I can find that does this and it sounds amazing

I am from Argentina, I love this series

Lea Michele es todo lo que está bien en este mundo. Tiene una voz maravillosa. Lea no tiene el reconocimiento que se merece.

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're 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


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

I mean, it's good, but I like Kurt's better.

Lea has an incredible singing technique, and Chris sings entirely in falsetto with really bad technique. If he keeps going he won’t be able to sing in like a decade. His version is more emotional, but just worse in very other way

She makes it sound so easy... but it is NOT😂😭

Chris sounds like a rejected Disney princess. This is where its at. Leas is by far the best version.

You all realise that Evita never sang this song in Casa Rosada or any song for that matter right?
Having said that, enjoy this song!

Am I only one that’s tired of hearing everyone hate on lea, I’m just saying that once it’s someone else singing it’s okay, but once it’s lea everyone of the haters come out to say something.I’m just saying who the heck are any of you to judge anyone’s singing, did you go to college for it???

THE BFF SHOW! I agree, if they like Kurt's version so much they would go listen to it and stop listening to Lea's version.

Argentina *

😍😍😍

Evita Perón sigue viviendo en nuestros corazones ♥️ 🇦🇷

I thought Santana sang this in one of the episode. They had a play she was playing as a character with her hair tied to a bun and she wore black skirt with red frills.

Merfiz Aziz when is it?

no santana never sang this song

Merfiz Aziz that was when they did West Side Story and the song was called America

West side story? Santana never sang this song

Muchas gracias por hacer este canal y subir todas las canciones!!! Nunca lo borres, me encanta y lo aprecio mucho❤️😊

Can someone tell me the message of this song

Samantha Cook is a song from the musical Evita who tells the story of Evita Peron , the First Lady of Argentina during the WWII . She was / is adored in her country and is considered to be like a " spiritual leader " . She fought for a lot of thing there and in the musical she is singing this after she died because of cancer , she is basically telling to her people to not cry for her since she still live in their hearts

Lidia R evita sings this song after they win the elections, not after she died (she's dead, she can't sing). This means that they have to cry (celebrate) that Perón won the elections not that she was there to support him

In the musical Evita,by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the character Eva Perón sign this song after she won the elections for Vice President of Argentina, the song was used as a speech, telling the people who admire her, the people of Argentina, to don't cry for her, as a form to inspire them, also,a reprise of the song is played after Eva's death, to shown that Argentina must not cry for her, cause she will always be part of them

Será difícil de comprender

Que a pesar de estar hoy aquí

Soy del pueblo, jamás lo podré olvidar

Debéis creerme

Mis lujos son solamente un disfraz

Un juego burgués, nada más

Las reglas del ceremonial

 

Tenía que aceptar, debí cambiar

Y dejar de vivir en lo gris

Siempre tras la ventana sin lugar bajo el sol

Busqué ser libre pero jamás dejaré de soñar

Y sólo podré conseguir la fe que queráis compartir

 

No llores por mí, Argentina

Mi alma está contigo

Mi vida entera te la dedico

Mas no te alejes, te necesito

 

Jamás podréis ambicionar

Mentiras dijeron de mí

Mi lugar vuestro es, por vosotros luché

Yo sólo quiero sentiros muy cerca

Poder intentar abrir mi ventana

Y saber que nunca me vais a olvidar

 

No llores por mí, Argentina

Mi alma está contigo

Mi vida entera te la dedico

Mas no te alejes, te necesito

 

¿Qué más podré decir

Para convenceros de mi verdad?

Si aún queréis dudar mirad mis ojos

Ved como lloran de amor

 

No llores por mí, Argentina

Mi alma está contigo

Mi vida entera te la dedico

Mas no te alejes, te necesito

 

No llores por mí, Argentina

No será fácil, tu crees que es extraño
Cuando trato de explicar como me siento
Que yo necesito tu amor después de que todo está hecho

No me creerás
Todo lo que verás es una chica que una vez conociste
Aunque ella se viste para los nueves
A los seis y sietes contigo

Tuve que permitirle pasar, tengo que cambiarlo
No puedo quedar toda mi vida abajo al talón
Mirando afuera de la ventana, quedando fuera del sol

Pues elijo la libertad
Corriendo, probando todo lo nuevo
Pero nada me impresionó en absoluto
Nunca lo esperé

No llores por mi Argentina
La verdad nunca te abandonará
Todo a través de mis días salvajes
Mi loca existencia
Guardo mi promesa
No guardes tu distancia

Y en cuanto a la fortuna, y en cuanto a la fama
Nunca las invité
Aunque al mundo le parezca que son todo lo que deseé

Son ilusiones
No son las soluciones que prometen ser
La respuesta estuvo aquí todo el tiempo
Te amo y espero que tu me ames

No llores por mi Argentina

No llores por mi Argentina
La verdad nunca te abandonará
Todo a través de mis días salvajes
Mi loca existencia
Guardo mi promesa
No guardes tu distancia

¿He dicho mucho?
No hay nada mas que yo pueda decirte
Pero todo lo que puedes hacer es mirarme para saber
Que cada palabra es verdadera.

The comments said Kurt's is better but the views just show the truth. I love Kurt's too!

No offense, but Kurt's is totally better. (My opinion, everyone might not agree with me)

Mad Maddy  Lea > Kurt, Kurt's voices may be cute but its not good or technical at all.

Me llena de orgullo este cover. (y el de Chris colfler) amé tanto la serie que esto fue obviamente una de las cosas que más hizo que me encantara. y la versión de Buenos Aires de Gerber baby también.

this is amazing

Me encanta esta versión. Ella es una re Diosa por favor cuanto talento.

I prefer Kurt's version

Ulisses Oliveira me too.

I prefer Lea's

I like them both, equally.

extraordinaria versión, waoo

Kurt is more emotional

+Ichimaru Zero *Extremely* arguable. Besides, Kurt lacks technique.

+Star Wars True

abseluetly not, rachel has the perfect amount of emotion for this song and her teckneque is simply flawless.

Ichimaru Zero do you know what emotion is?

well done awesome classic song takes me back to my early days

Goosebumps. Best version I've heard, other than Nicole Scherzinger, but you can't get it on iTunes.

Taylor Jaffe
Why did this make me laugh so hard!?😂😂😂

Ok so I actually went to hear it and holy shit you are so right. I had no idea she could sing like that. Her version is so hopeful and intense in a super different way. Everyone else sings this song differently, in this somber and sad tone.

What about Patti Lupone

I love This song 👌👌

I am from Argentina and I am very proud of this!

Tim Rice, lyricist of this song, stated "cry" in this instance doesn't mean weep, but to call out as in, "the audience cried out for more."

Amazing

A única que termina com a nota mais alta... Perfeita! Acho que é a melhor versão por aqui...

MAGNIFICENT.

I prefer Kurt's version. 

Gorgeous

SO BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!!!

I wouldn't say "Don't Cry for Me Argentina from Evita", because even when i know there is a show with her name, we should say, "Don't Cry for me Argentina" BY Evita. If you don't know yet, you should know who Eva Perón was. Great version!

+Lautaro Abal Actually, no. The song is from the musical Evita. Evita (the woman) never sang this song, never heard of it, so it's not BY her.

It was you who did not understand what i said. I wasn't literal.

+Juanjo Tavolara
El tema representa un discurso de Evita en el balcón de la Casa Rosada, después de que Perón ganara las elecciones presidenciales de 1946

Lautaro Abal it's not a show it was a movie

Thee Apollo it was a show first

That one dislike is from Sue XD

So beautiful.

remind me why did they make 3 versions of this song????

yh its clear thanks
