Chiquitita

Little one, tell me why
Your pain today chains you
In your eyes there is
A shadow of great sorrow

I wouldn't want to see you like this
Even if you try to hide it
If you are so sad
Why do you want to keep it quiet?

Little one, tell me
Crying on my shoulder here
Count on me now
To keep on walking

I met you so sure
And now your wing is broken
Let me fix it
I want to see it healed

Little one, you know very well
That sorrows come and go and disappear
You will dance again, and you will be happy
Like flowers that bloom
Little one, there's no need to cry
The stars shine for you up there
I want to see you smile, to share
Your joy, little one
Once again, I want to share
Your joy, little one

Little one, tell me why
Your pain today chains you
In your eyes there is
A shadow of great sorrow
I wouldn't want to see you like this
Even if you try to hide it
If you are so sad
Why do you want to keep it quiet?

Little one, you know very well
That sorrows come and go and disappear
You will dance again, and you will be happy
Like flowers that bloom
Little one, there's no need to cry
The stars shine for you up there
I want to see you smile, to share
Your joy, little one
Once again, I want to share
Your joy, little one
Once again, I want to share
Your joy, little one
