(b. andersson/b. ulvaeus)
Chiquitita, tell me whats wrong
Youre 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 youre oh, so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
Im a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, Im the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see youre broken and fed up
I hope we can patch it up together
Refrain:
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars, theyre leavin
Youll be dancin once again
And the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin
Chiquitita, you and I cried
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 loves turned lonely and dreadful
All is gone and it seems too hard forever
Chiquitita tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
All I see that youre, oh so sad, so quiet
(repeat refrain)
Coda:
Try once more, like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
