Chiquitita (Dis-moi Pourquoi)

Chiquitita, tell me why
When life is so sad to cry
You keep deep inside
So many tears and so many secrets
It's the autumn of a first love
But love, you know, has nothing to do with it
There is always
A new spring that comes back

Chiquitita, I know too well
The wound of a first sorrow
Hurts for a long time
But everything passes with time
And time goes by
And puts love back in its place
Chiquitita, I know like you
The first happiness that goes away
Hurts for a long time
But you will sing again
And sing louder
Sing for yourself, Chiquitita

Chiquitita, close your eyes
Rest your head in my arms
There, you will fall asleep
Just like before
We don't forget but you will see
You will find your smile again
Tomorrow, you will fly
In the sky of your future

Chiquitita, I know too well
The wound of a first sorrow
Hurts for a long time
But everything passes with time
And time goes by
And puts love back in its place
Chiquitita, I know like you
The first happiness that goes away
Hurts for a long time
But you will sing again
And sing louder
Sing for yourself, Chiquitita

Sing loud
And sing again
Sing for yourself, Chiquitita
