(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaus)
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes
There is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see
That you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend
I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see
You've broken a feather (how it hurts to see you cry and how it hurts to see you
sad)
I hope
We can patch it up together
Chiquitita
You and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leavin'
You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'
Chiquitita
You and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you (even though we cry the sun is shining in the sky, so)
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before (let me hear you sing some more the way you used to do
before)
Sing a new song
Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquitita
So the walls came tumblin' down
And your love's a blown-out candle
All is gone
And it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see
That you're oh, so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita
You and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leavin' (you and I we know how all the heartaches come and
go)
You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end (and you'll be dancing once again, and all the pain you take
will end)
You will have no time for grievin'
Chiquitita
You and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you (even though we cry the sun is shining in the sky, so)
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before (let me hear you sing some more the way you used to do
before)
Sing a new song
Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquitita
