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
