Chiquitita Lyrics

(written by: B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)

Send "Chiquitita" Ringtone to your Cell

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 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

I simply must say once more to those who think that lyrics are theirs to mutilate as they wish that it doesn't matter what you think makes sense, I could make a very long list of songs that have dopey lyrics, it's the accuracy that's the issue, and making up lyircs that "make more sense" is not being accurate and therefore should not be done.
Sorry, but I just can't believe how some people think they know better than Benny and Bjorn, two fo the most talented songwriters ever. The lyrics are accurate, please don't meddle with them.

God, can this song be any better? Makes me smile and cry at the same time. God bless 'em.

I must have translated this song into German 50 times while traveling there. Abba was a remarkable group and one of the first international groups along with the Beatles, Stones, etc.

The lyrics "now i see you've broken a feather" makes perfect sense. She is singing to her pet bird. What else would be named Chiquitita?

This song always reminds me of my mother.. When I was little mom and i would dance and sing to their songs! This one always stuck out the most :)

Worthy of interpretation by Ace Of Base.

Recuerdo mi niñez cuando tenía 4 años y mi hermana iba a nacer. Es una excelente canción

This is probably one of my favourite songs. I'm going to name my daughter after this song, like, Chiquitita will be her middle name.

When I feel sad, this song gives me strength. When I feel on top of the world, I go to listen this song to keep myself together with me and my soul. The song is great in all the respects. It is encouraging and demanding. Long live this song.

The song is correct as it is, it does not need correcting. The lyrics here matcht he ones on the original album sleeve.

Now I see you broken and fettered. Now I see you've broken a feather doesn't even make sense. Also, it's I hope we can hash it out together, not I hope we can patch it up together.

me encanta esta canción, en mi niñez, una chica ponía su tocadiscos a todo volumen, y la canción estaba en un acetato de 45 rpm, en inglés. aunque existe la versión en españo, siento que en inglés tiene una fuerza y ternura muy difícil de alcanzar en su traducción.
gracias por la letra, después de escuchar la canción un millar de veces, por fin pude entenderla casi por completo.
saludos.

As everybody said, a world-class of ABBA's charm.

There is no ABBA songs I dislike, butthis one is best FOREVER. I can even say that they composed this song for my birth and I'm so proud of that
