  • 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

      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

    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!!!

    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.
