(b. andersson/b. ulvaeus)



Chiquititatell me what's wrong

You're enchained by your own sorrow

In your eyesthere 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 ohso sadso quiet



Chiquititatell me the truth

I'm a shoulder you can cry on

Your best friendI'm the one you must rely on

You were always sure of yourself

Now I see you're broken and fed up

I hope we can patch it up together



Refrain:

Chiquititayou and I know

How the heartaches come and they go

And the scarsthey're leavin'

You'll be dancin' once again

And the pain will end

You will have no time for grievin'

Chiquititayou 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 songchiquitita

Try once morelike you did before

Sing a new songchiquitita



So the walls came tumblin' down

And your love's 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 you'reoh so sadso quiet



(repeat refrain)



Coda:

Try once morelike you did before

Sing a new songchiquitita
