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
