阿根廷別為我哭泣（Don't Cry For Me Argentina）出自音樂劇《艾薇塔》（Evita）。是一出由蒂姆·賴斯與安德魯·勞埃德·韋伯共同製作的音樂劇。劇情內容是描述阿根廷前第一夫人伊娃·裴隆（Eva Peron，即艾薇塔）【在翻譯成中文後也被稱為貝隆夫人】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。
1977年，該曲獲得伊弗爾諾維羅獎“詞曲最佳歌曲”獎。
音樂劇《艾薇塔》的音樂和歌曲錄製是由原創音樂作者安德魯·羅依德·韋伯親自指導龐大的樂隊，經過長達四個月400個錄音小時的艱苦工作完成的。而在電影《艾薇塔》中麥當娜和安東尼奧·班德拉斯、喬納森·普賴斯、吉米·奈爾等演員親自演唱了影片中的所有歌曲，這其中，麥當娜是一位通俗歌星，安東尼奧·班德拉斯是職業電影演員，喬納森·普賴斯則是一位真正的音 樂劇演員，不同演唱技巧融合的特殊效果使《艾薇塔》的歌曲具有了別樣的質感。雖然《艾薇塔》在視覺上相當成功，但是它的音樂卻顯得更為出色，這或許就是音樂劇電影的魅力所在。
更值一提的是，導演大膽的任用麥當娜。這位美國歌壇的大姐大，在影壇上可謂演一部砸一部，而且由於她的個人評價等，主演艾薇塔導致阿根廷全國上下群情激憤，抗議惡女形象的麥當娜不配演出該國聖女艾薇塔。而麥當娜本人為獲得該角色，寫了四頁親筆信給導演，並專門學習聲樂三個月，光在錄音棚就錄了四個月，每周7天，49段音樂就錄了四百多個小時，當然出精品。而且，她在阿根廷拍外景時，麵對抗議浪潮，她付出幾倍於他人的努力，終於得到回報，甚至阿根廷總統也被她的誠心感動，答應出借總統府陽台。拍攝當天，當她出現在陽台，演唱“別為我哭泣阿根廷”時，4000群眾演員和攝製人員都被深深的感動，以至人們都瘋狂了。在電影中可以見到這一真實感人的場麵。
"Don't Cry for Me Argentina" is a song recorded by Julie Covington for the 1976 concept album Evita, later included in the 1978 musical of the same name. The song was written and composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice while they were researching the life of Argentine leader Eva Perón. It appears at the opening of the first and second acts, as well as near the end of the show, initially as the spirit of the dead Eva exhorting the people of Argentina not to mourn her, during Eva's speech from the balcony of the Casa Rosada, and during her final broadcast.
In 1996, American singer Madonna played the title role in the film adaptation of the musical and recorded her rendition of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina". Released as the second single from the film soundtrack on 4 February 1997, her version received positive reviews from music critics who praised her vocal performance. A separate version called the "Miami Mix", which included re-recorded vocals in English and Spanish and an Argentinian bandoneon, was promoted to radio. Madonna's version reached number one on the European Hot 100 Singles chart and the national charts of the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, and Spain. It also became a top-ten hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 and many other charts worldwide, while attaining gold or platinum in six countries.
