CHIQUITITA

Lyrics and music by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus
Released by ABBA on January 16, 1979

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.
(How it hurts to see you cry and how it hurts to see you sad.)
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 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 truth.
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 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.
