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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 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
