Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong

You're enchained by your own sorrow

You're trapped by your own sorrow

In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow

In your eyes, there is no hope for tomorrow

How I hate to see you like this

How I hate to see you like this

There is no way you can deny it

There is no way you can deny it

I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

I can see that you're so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth

Chiquitita, tell me the truth

I'm a shoulder you can cry on

I'm a shoulder you can cry on

Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on

Your best friend, I'm the one you can rely on

You were always sure of yourself

You were always confident in yourself

Now I see you've broken a feather

Now I see you've lost your spark

I hope we can patch it up together

I hope we can mend it together

Chiquitita, you and I know

Chiquitita, you and I know

How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leavin'

How the heartaches come and go and the scars they leave behind

You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end

You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end

You would have no time for grievin'

You won't have time for grieving

Chiquitita, you and I cry

Chiquitita, you and I cry

But the sun is still in the sky and shinin' above you

But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you

Let me hear you sing once more like you did before

Let me hear you sing once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

...

...

Try once more like you did before

Try once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

So the walls came tumblin' down

So the walls came tumbling down

And your love's a blown out candle

And your love's a blown-out candle

All is gone and it seems too hard to handle

All is gone and it seems too hard to handle

Chiquitita, tell me the truth

Chiquitita, tell me the truth

There is no way you can deny it

There is no way you can deny it

I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

I see that you're so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know

Chiquitita, you and I know

How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leavin'

How the heartaches come and go and the scars they leave behind

You'll be dancin' once again and the pain will end

You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end

You will have no time for grievin'

You won't have time for grieving

Chiquitita, you and I cry

Chiquitita, you and I cry

But the sun is still in the sky and shinin' above you

But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you

Let me hear you sing once more like you did before

Let me hear you sing once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before

Try once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before

Try once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Sing a new song, Chiquitita
