《Don't Cry For Me Argentina》是奥斯卡获奖影片《贝隆夫人》主题曲,阿根廷第二国歌,阿根廷足球队悲伤之曲,出自著名音乐剧《艾薇塔》。
---中英字幕---
《艾薇塔》这部音乐剧讲述了阿根廷前第一夫人伊娃·贝隆(Eva Peron,即艾薇塔,也称贝隆夫人)从一个受尽社会歧视的私生女到权倾阿根廷的主政者的传奇一生。有了这部音乐剧,我们才知道她是谁。
Evita是阿根廷前总统贝隆的夫人,她出生贫寒,做过舞女和影视演员,她靠姿色和手腕成为贝隆夫人后,为阿根廷的社会、劳工、医疗等方面均作出过卓越的贡献,逝世时年仅33岁。贝隆夫人的传奇经历一向是剧作家非常感兴趣的题材。
后来根据音乐剧改编成了音乐电影,由麦当娜出演,并演唱了主题曲《Don't Cry For Me Argentina》。尽管韦伯为适应麦当娜的音域特地把《阿根廷别为我哭泣》降了几度,但她的演绎自然贴切,歌声真切感人,不但在拍摄时感动了全体摄制组,还使了整个阿根廷完全接受了麦当娜扮演的这个角色,为这首名曲增添了新的光彩。麦当娜也因此获得当年金球奖最佳女主角奖。
