《阿根廷別為我哭泣》(Evita) - 1996
該說 Alan Parker 一向具有「點石成金」的神力呢？還是 Madonna 是一個長於心計經營自身演藝事業的超級巨星，而 Eva Peron 一生的傳奇即是她內心深處的最佳寫照？
除了 Andrew Lloyd Webber - Tim Rice 同名原著音樂劇的盛名壓力、10 多年來因為人事、預算與政治因素屢試不成的拍片計畫、Madonna 一路走來始終如一的爭議形象以及逐漸失勢的音樂事業…，都經過了 Alan Parker 文采華麗的鏡頭語言巧妙地「翻譯」成功；《Evita》不再是冗長而且枯燥的音樂劇、電影成績雖然平平卻也贏得了許多拉丁美洲的掌聲與美國本土主流獎項的肯定、Madonna 個人也囊闊了兩項金球獎（最佳女主角與最佳電影歌曲）與奧斯卡最佳電影歌曲，並且在音樂事業得到轉圜與成就的空間、演技也不再像以前一般遭人諷刺詬病，而也因她的號召力，使得更多年輕歌迷能夠領會這齣經典音樂劇的迷人之處。
主題曲〈Don't Cry for Me Argentina〉是 Andrew Lloyd Webber - Tim Rice 原著中早已千里遠播的佳作，加上為電影版新譜的〈You Must Love Me〉，都被 Madonna 以無比的勇氣與實力挑戰成功，和著參演角色的完全投入，Madonna 唱來溫柔中帶著勇敢、堅毅而又激情地道出劇中人物阿根廷第一夫人伊娃裴隆 (Eva Peron) 對祖國以及人民的深厚情感，盪氣迴腸、深刻感人。
★ Don't cry for me, Argentina
It won't be easy
You will think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
that I still want 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
And sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down to heels
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 promise to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me (*)
Have I said too much
There is nothing more I can think of say to you
But all you have to do
Is look at me to know that every word is true.........
