Chiquitita

Little girl, 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 want to pretend
If you are so sad
Why do you want to keep it quiet

Little girl, tell me
On my shoulder, crying here
Count on me now
To keep on walking

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

Little girl, you know very well
That sorrows come and go and disappear
You will dance again and be happy
Like flowers that bloom

Little girl, there's no need to cry
The stars shine for you up there
I want to see you smile to share
Your joy, little girl

Once again I want to share
Your joy, little girl

Little girl, 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 want to pretend
If you are so sad
Why do you want to keep it quiet

Little girl, you know very well
That sorrows come and go and disappear
You will dance again and be happy
Like flowers that bloom

Little girl, there's no need to cry
The stars shine for you up there
I want to see you smile to share
Your joy, little girl

Once again I want to share
Your joy, little girl

Once again I want to share
Your joy, little girl
