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
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 leaving.
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end,
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry,
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you.
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita!
Try once more like you did before,
Sing a new song, Chiquitita!
So the walls came tumbling 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 leaving,
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving.
Chiquitita, you and I cry,
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did 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!
