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 leavin'
You'll be dancin'
once again
And the pain will end
You will have
no time for grievin'

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 tumblin' 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
