(b. andersson/b. ulvaeus)
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´re broken and fed up
i hope we can patch it up together

refrain:
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 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 song, chiquitita
try once more, like you did before
sing a new song, chiquitita

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´re, oh so sad, so quiet

(repeat refrain)

coda:
try once more, like you did before
sing a new song, chiquitita
