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
    [CHORUS]
