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 (How it hurts to see you cry and how it hurts to see you sad)
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, when 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 can 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, when 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
