(Eva:) The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear She's sad for her country, sad to be defeated By her own weak body
(Crowds:) [Evita! Evita!] (repeat in background)
I want to tell the people of Argentina I've decided I should decline All the honors and titles you've pressed me to take For I'm contented Let me simply go on as the woman who brings her people To the heart of Peron
Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I shall not leave you Though it may get harder for you to see me I'm Argentina, and always will be
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
