阿根廷,別為我哭泣（Don't Cry for Me, Argentina）
第六十九屆奧斯卡最佳電影歌曲
“阿根廷，別為我哭泣”(Don't Cry for Me, Argentina)是1996年電影《貝隆夫人》(Evita)的主題曲。該片由歌壇天後麥當娜（Madonna）和安東尼奧．班德拉斯（Antonio Banderas）主演，描寫的是阿根廷的第一夫人——艾薇塔的悲歡離合、大起大落、享盡榮華富貴，也嚐遍心酸坎坷的一生：她出生貧寒，但對未來充滿憧憬，但在那個時代，經過不懈的努力，具有美麗容顏的她很快在一個攝影師的鏡頭下成名，從此輾轉在富人和官員中，直到她遇到貝隆上校——一個聲望上升的軍官，她才脫穎而出，成為耀眼的政治明星。麥當娜又演又唱，表現大放異彩，曾獲金球獎(喜劇與音樂劇)最佳女主角，也打破了她是“票房毒藥”的宿命。
艾薇塔的一生是個傳奇，既深受人民愛戴，被稱為“窮人的旗手”，但也被富人們稱為“不擇手段的女人”。人們忘不了她對社會、勞工、教育所做出的貢獻。其悲劇性的早逝(年僅33歲)，令人惋惜。該片改編自安德魯．洛埃．韋伯(Andrew Lloyd Webster)的同名歌劇，由阿倫. 派克導演。這首主題歌是《貝隆夫人》原聲帶歌曲中流傳最廣的一首，曲中寫盡了女主角對祖國阿根廷的一往情深和她個人渴望改革的堅強誌意，在西方的流行歌曲中是一首擲地有聲之作。
這個歌劇是韋伯中期的作品，包含了南美音樂的的迷人熱情與流行音樂的柔美抒情，全劇在韋伯的調配下，曲風囊括了南美Bosa Nova爵士、藍調（Blues）、探戈（Tango）、華爾滋（Waltz）、及流行音樂（Pops）等元素，架構出多采多姿的民族情感與波瀾壯闊的史詩氣派。
附歌詞：
Don't Cry for Me, Argentina
It won't be easy
You'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I fell
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 night
At sixes and sevens with you
I have to let it happen
I have to change
Couldn't sail my life down at hill
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 too
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 we seemed to the world
They were all I desired
They are the illusion
They are not the solution
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
