愛爾蘭性格光頭女歌手［西妮歐康諾］──音樂劇／管絃樂流行抒情曲──［Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina／阿根廷，別為我哭泣］

It wont be easy, youll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that Ive done

You wont believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although shes dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldnt 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

Dont cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Dont 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 are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Have I said too much?
Theres 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

１９９０年，愛爾蘭性格光頭女歌手西妮歐康諾（Sinead O’Connor）以第二張大碟［I Do Not Want What I Havent Got ］與單曲［Nothing Compares 2 U］紅遍全球，登上事業高峰．

１９９２年９月，２５歲的西妮終於推出第三張專輯［Am I Not Your Girl?］（Ensign／Chrysalis唱片）

不過這回曲風一改先前的另類音樂，改為翻唱爵士樂經典曲，

歐康諾描述：“這是我我從小就聆听的歌曲[並且]讓我想成為歌手的歌曲”。

大碟名稱來自歌曲［Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home］。

這張專輯獻給紐約市的人民，特別是奧康納在聖馬可廣場遇到的無家可歸者。

大碟由Phil Ramone與西妮製作，樂評褒貶不一．

由於曲風相對冷門，［Am I Not Your Girl?］銷售不如上張：

愛爾蘭專輯榜＃８　英國＃６－金唱片（１０萬張＋）　德國＃２４　法國＃２６

紐西蘭＃５　奧地利＃９　瑞士＃１１－金唱片（2.5萬張＋）　　

荷蘭＃１５－金唱片（５萬張＋）　

瑞典＃１６　澳大利亞＃１７

西班牙－金唱片（５萬張＋）　

美國榜＃２７（３０萬張＋）

全球賣出１００多萬張

首支單曲［Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home］登上愛爾蘭榜＃１１　英國榜＃１８

第二主打是１９９２年１１月推出的［Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina／阿根廷，別為我哭泣］

這是翻唱安德魯洛伊韋伯（Andrew Lloyd Webber）與提姆萊斯（Tim Rice）創作，１９７６年發行的音樂劇專輯［Evita／艾薇塔］的歌曲［Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina／阿根廷，別為我哭泣］

原唱是英國歌手Julie Covington  她的版本，１９７７年２月登上英倫榜冠軍，至今賣出一百萬張

由於音樂劇專輯的成功

１９７８年　安德魯洛伊韋伯與提姆萊斯將其搬上舞台上演　相當賣座

並獲得英美劇場大獎

西妮版被製作成一首音樂劇／管絃樂流行抒情曲

在縈迴繚繞的弦樂聲中，歐康諾以她性格化的冷調唱腔演繹，賦予歌曲不同風貌．

［Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina／阿根廷，別為我哭泣］登上英國單曲榜＃５３　荷蘭＃４４

西妮並多次宣傳演唱此曲．
