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 know
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 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
