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 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 
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 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’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 
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
