Newton-John, Olivia - Don't Cry For Me Argentina Lyrics






It won't be easy; you'll think it's 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
And its 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
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise; don't keep your distance

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

Newton-John, Olivia Don't Cry For Me Argentina Comments
  1. J.... P....

    Every body can sing karen carpenters song.. but only few can sing olivia songs... take note folks...

  2. E.... C....

    Grande Olivia, una mujer muy hermosa y con hermosa voz

  3. h.... a....

    Hi Olivia your sound too cool like Nat king col I wish health for you.thank you.

  4. C.... M....

    A nice song beautifully done. Maybe a bit over-emotional. She has a bit of a tendency to bleat like a sheep. I often wonder what made a guy fake his own death to get away from her. It can't be her looks - she's a cutie.

  5. t.... i....

    Wish she could have recorded this as a duet with Karen Carpenter.

  6. M.... A....

    Very nice version of a difficult song

  7. H.... ....

    A great talent...

  8. R.... V....

    Best version ever, dearest Olivia! ♥ I wish you a long and happy life! To quote you in "Xanadu", "I will love you forever!" ♥

  9. A.... V....

    Her voice is so much sweeter and more melodic than Madonna’s. She should have tried for the role.

  10. J.... D....

    Muito bom. Nota 10!

  11. �.... ....

    Olivia newton John ㅡ Don't cry for me south Korea. 우리는 자유민주주의 갈망합니다 ㆍ

  12. T.... s....

    That the fucking hell? Damnd is that good!

  13. I.... W....

    Of course I like Madonna because she did the movie and Karen Carpenter was perfect even maybe better than Madonna

  14. I.... W....

    She's an amazing singer and I like her but for her this is not the right song. Her voice is too high pitched and it needs to be a lot lower and softer. She is good for more modern songs and more upbeat songs I think more songs that are a Jazzy B this one just doesn't fit her

  15. J.... M....

    I think Donna Summer's version is better. The brillant Giorgio Moroder did a unique arrangement on that one.

  16. S.... L....

    💜 🇦🇷🇬🇧💜

  17. N.... A....

    Linda essa versão da Olivia. 😍🇧🇷🎶❤

  18. S.... M....

    Beautiful arrangement.

  19. R.... M....

    Olivia Newton John is emotion!

  20. S.... B....

    This rendition is very moving by Olivia!

  21. A.... D....

    Olivia is the best.Im 62 yrs old and hearing her version brings tears to my eyes

  22. J.... A....

    will be singing the dance version tomorrow at the karaoke, please pray for me...

  23. J.... J....

    Angels are bless with love

  24. J.... O....

    Yes she is a True Aussie Icon.

  25. �.... ....

    아르헨티나가 위험해 보이던데 .. 베네주엘라 다음으로 망하려나 ..

  26. s.... ....

    There was talk of her starring in the film version of Evita, as the Broadway show premiered the year after Grease made her one of the hottest new stars in Hollywood. Of course the film version would be another 17 years.

  27. J.... B....

    ARGENTINA Simplemente TE AMO.

  28. �.... �....

  29. p.... g....

    We honestly love you

  30. G.... T....

    It's a good rendition but not as good as Karen Carpenter's version, and I'm a big Olivia Newton John fan.

    G.... T....

    YHTNOTH

    G.... T....

    Nobody's voice can compare to Karen Carpenter's. In this version, however, I find more feeling, more passion. Julie Covington, Patti Lupone and Nicole Scherzinger also sing it nicely. In Spanish, Elena Reger and Mia Patterson are my choice.

  31. G.... R....

    Nice.. almost as Karen carpenter
    Hard to.decline either of each

  32. f.... ....

    It's okay, but nothing compared to The Carpenter's version...

    f.... ....

    I agree... Totally!!!

    f.... ....

    @Pablo Cruzat Me too!

  33. R.... A....

    The Best Version ....more than KarenCarpenter, Sinead O Connor and Madonna.

    R.... A....

    Karen sings this song better than any of the others,..her voice is suited for it perfectly.

    R.... A....

    Now I have to play Sinead Conner’S version to tell you my artistic opinion’s best!!!!!

  34. D.... H....

    es gibt viele schöne Lieder von Olivia, wird in der Musikgeschichte keine Unbekannte bleiben, die sympathische Amerikanerin hat die Herzen vieler erobert ❤

  35. E.... N....

    שיר פרידה מן הטובים

  36. R.... S....

    Olivia was the first person I ever heard sing this song. Guess that’s the reason I like it so much.

  37. b.... ....

    I was on an Olivia kick in college...bought every album she made.  Loved this.  Loved Karen Carpenter.  No, they're not Patti Lupone (she still owns the role) but their vocals are stunning.

  38. H.... J....

    Nobody beats Karen Carpenter's reading.

    H.... J....

    The original version is English and it´s not a very challenging song unless you have no knowledge how to transport it theatrically. Newton-John does it extremely well. Carpenter, in my opinion, has no clue ;-)

    H.... J....

    Henry Jackson 8

    H.... J....

    I agree, I love Olivia but Karen sings Argentina AS GOOD AS MADONNA

    H.... J....

    Karen sings "Argentina" circles around Madonna...and it's better suited to Karen's voice than Olivia's too...But I do really like Olivia as well...

    H.... J....

    @fool4singing Certainly!!!

  39. v.... p....

    Maravillosa interpretación ... una hermosa voz, gracias Olivia

  40. K.... R....

    Gracias Dios por enviarnos estos bellos y dulces regalos para admirar tu grandeza.

  41. R.... G....

    I met Olivia on one of my many flights that I worked at Delta Air Lines. Such a charming woman with so much class. I hope that she's enjoying her life; she's brought so much joy to mine.

    R.... G....

    Rob Gehrke Oh shut up.

  42. J.... R....

    Extraordinaria interpretación de esta artista cantando Don't Cry For me Argentina.

  43. v.... ....

    Minunatele melodii de alta data, meldii pe care tinerii din ziua de azi nu le-au audiat nici maca o data. Pacat.

  44. S.... A....

    Olivia ...You are amazing

  45. S.... G....

    She was one of many who recorded the song in the era......she nailed it tho.....Livvy is amazing!!!

  46. B.... ....

    Best. Version. Ever.

  47. T.... Y....

    Olivia sang it with her soft crystal voice, superb version!

  48. R.... C....

    Great version!

  49. A.... D....

    A high school boy have remembered this song. After growing up enough, he can sing it loud at a karaoke house in Japan.

  50. R.... T....

    Nice rendition. Softer than most.

  51. B.... B....

    Que bellos recuerdos llegan a mi pensamiento.

  52. M.... S....

    yeah, highly performance
