Don’t Cry For Me Argentina
今天上班時，挑了 Andrew Lloyd Webber 歌劇精選來聽。聽到了 Evita 的 Don’t Cry For Me Argentina 和接下來的 Oh What a Circus ，想到最近陳水扁的貪污洗錢案，突然覺得好諷刺。
…
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I’ve done
…
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
…
唉，原來是這種感覺呢～
…
Oh what a circus, oh what a show
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
…
第三世界國家改革開放的英雄，因為貪污腐化晚節不保，卻死不認錯，訴求民族主義想要翻身。原來是這樣的感覺啊～哪一天陳水扁走的時候，不知道又會演出怎麼樣的一場鬧劇呢？
Don’t Cry For Me Argentina
Julie CovingtonIt 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
Oh What a Circus
David EssexSalve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes
et flentes
O clemens o pia
(Che:)
Oh what a circus, oh what a show
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
We’ve all gone crazy
Mourning all day and mourning all night
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right
Oh what an exit, that’s how to go
When they’re ringing your curtain down
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
It’s quite a sunset
And good for the country in a roundabout way
We’ve made the front page of all
the world’s papers today
But who is this Santa Evita?
Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
What kind of goddess has lived among us?
How will we ever get by without her?
(Crowd:)
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes
et flentes o clemens o pia
She had her moments, she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying,Eva Peron
But that’s all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
We’re all gonna see and how,
she did nothing for years
(Che:)
You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
That’s all they wanted, not much to ask for
But in the end you could not deliver
(Crowd:)
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia
