Sur la piste des héroïnes : Eva Peron.

Certains d'entre vous, dans le cadre de leur sujet de TPE, vont être amenés à effectuer des recherches sur le personnage historique d'Eva Peron, devenue une véritable icône de l'Argentine. Vous pouvez d'ores et déjà découvrir cette figure d'héroïne à travers la chanson "Don't cry for me Argentina", interprétée par Madonna dans le film Evita, d'Alan Parker.

 

 

Les paroles :

 

"It won't be easy, you'll think it's 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 are 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."
