Now I see you've broken a feather
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
You were always sure of yourself
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
And the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
And the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
And your love's a blown out candle
There is no way you can deny it
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
How the heartaches come and they go
Chiquitita, you and I cry
Chiquitita, you and I know
I hope we can patch it up together
You will have no time for grieving
And the scars they're leaving
Chiquitita, you and I know
So the walls came tumbling down
Chiquitita, you and I cry
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
You will have no time for grieving
How the heartaches come and they go
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
How I hate to see you like this
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
There is no way you can deny it
Try once more like you did before
Try once more like you did before
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
And the scars they're leaving
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
