Lyrics
Chiquitita, tell me what’s wrongYou’re enchained by your own sorrowIn your eyes there is no hope for tomorrowHow I hate to see you like thisThere is no way you can deny itI can see that you’re oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truthI’m a shoulder you can cry onYour best friend, I’m the one you must rely onYou were always sure of yourselfNow I see you’ve broken a featherI hope we can patch it up together
Chiquitita, you and I knowHow the heartaches come and they go and the scars they’re leavingYou’ll be dancing once again and the pain will endYou will have no time for grievingChiquitita, you and I cryBut the sun is still in the sky and shining above youLet me hear you sing once more like you did beforeSing a new song, ChiquititaTry once more like you did beforeSing a new song, Chiquitita
So the walls came tumbling downAnd your love’s a blown out candleAll is gone and it seems too hard to handleChiquitita, tell me the truthThere is no way you can deny itI see that you’re oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, you and I knowHow the heartaches come and they go and the scars they’re leavingYou’ll be dancing once again and the pain will endYou will have no time for grievingChiquitita, you and I cryBut the sun is still in the sky and shining above youLet me hear you sing once more like you did beforeSing a new song, ChiquititaTry once more like you did beforeSing a new song, ChiquititaTry once more like you did beforeSing a new song, Chiquitita
