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're broken and fed up I hope we can patch it up together
Refrain: 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 cried 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 turned lonely and dreadful All is gone and it seems too hard forever
Chiquitita tell me the truth There is no way you can deny it All I see that you're, oh so sad, so quiet
(Repeat Refrain)
Coda: Try once more, like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita
