- Julie Covington recorded this song in a 1976 concept album. Released as a single, it topped the UK singles chart becoming at the time the biggest selling UK hit by a female vocalist with sales of 980,000 units. She turned down the offer to play Eva Peron in this musical play, Evita. It went on to be performed by Elaine Paige. Among numerous artists who have covered the song including The Carpenters, Olivia Newton-John, Sinead O'Connor, Sarah Brightman, The Glee Cast... and of course, Madonna.
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
The most beautiful song ever ❤
Fell in love with Julie before this. She is by far the best .
This is forever Julie's song no one can ever get near the quality of her rendition pure magic
Nobody surpasses Julie on this song, ever and maybe forever!
Karen carpenter.please listen to her version
Nobody sings this song like Julie Covington.
The original and the very best nobody did it better than Julie.
I totally agree with you. Fond Memories of this song and the TV series Rock Follies.
Agreee......👍👌👍👍👌😍😍
This just came up on my feed it's 2023 as I'm writing this.
I was gonna say the same thing, Paige's version is ok, mad Donna's version is crap compared to Julie's
What a great song..........can I ever see Julie? I was so alone in my childhood while my mum always plays this record while she was drunk.
the best rendition of Evita DCFMA ever. Heavenly
Reflective and powerful
Wash your ears our
One of the most beautiful sogs ever ❤

Da Brividi, . Tvb ❤
Ilike it ,the song don't cry for me Argentina,because have nice melody,
Never had heard of Julie Covington before, and certainly never knew she was the FIRST to sing the role of Evita! I always thought first was Elaine Paige, and then Patti Lupone. This is amazing to hear! Totally different voice from the other two, but AT LEAST just as good!!! THANK YOU!!!
She was in a series about a female rock group in the UK called “Rock Follies”.
Remember 1980 going out and buying on 45 take that look off your face, brilliant

Deus salve a Argentina.
La prima volta che sentii questa canzone fu nel 1976 ,abitavo ad Anversa da allora sono rimasta incantata dalla bellissima voce
I heard the 1st airing of Julie singing this and was enchanted imediately. Oddly the programme presenter didn't know what to make of it.

Argentina Nunca fue representada por la eva perón
Many people say that this is the best version of Argentina but sadly I can’t agree, Julie seems very flat, there is very little passion in her voice, it sounds like she is bored singing the song, I am very underwhelmed.
