Chiquitita

Little One

Chiquitita

Little one, tell me whyChiquitita, dime porque
Your pain today chains youTu dolor hoy te encadena
In your eyes there isEn tus ojos hay
A shadow of great sorrowUna sombra de gran pena

I wouldn't want to see you like thisNo quisiera verte así
Even if you want to pretendAunque quieras disimularlo
If you are so sadSi es que tan triste estás
Why do you want to keep it quiet?¿Para que quieres callarlo?

Little one, tell meChiquitita, dímelo tú
Crying on my shoulder hereEn mi hombro aqui llorando
Count on me nowCuenta conmigo ya
To keep on lovingPara así seguir amando

I met you so confidentTan segura te conocí
And now your wing is brokenY ahora tu ala quebrada
Let the tears go nowDéjame el llanto ya
I want to see it healedYo la quiero ver sanada

Little one, you know very wellChiquitita, sabes muy bien
That sorrows come and go and disappearQue las penas vienen y van y desaparecen
You will dance again and be happyOtra vez vas a bailar y serás feliz
Like flowers that bloomComo flores que florecen

Little one, there's no need to cryChiquitita no hay que llorar
The stars shine for you up thereLas estrellas brillan por ti allá en lo alto
I want to see you smile to shareQuiero verte sonreir para compartir
Your joy, little oneTu alegria chiquitita

Once again I want to shareOtra vez quiero compartir
Your joy, little oneTu alegria chiquitita

Little one, tell meChiquitita dímelo tu
Crying on my shoulder hereEn mi hombro aqui llorando
Count on me nowCuenta conmigo ya
To keep on lovingPara así seguir amando

I wouldn't want to see you like thisNo quisiera verte así
Even if you want to pretendAunque quieras disimularlo
If you are so sadSi es que tan triste estás
Why do you want to keep it quiet?¿Para que quieres callarlo?

Little one, you know very wellChiquitita sabes muy bien
That sorrows come and go and disappearQue las penas vienen y van y desaparecen
You will dance again and be happyOtra vez vas a bailar y serás feliz
Like flowers that bloomComo flores que florecen

Little one, there's no need to cryChiquitita no hay que llorar
The stars shine for you up thereLas estrellas brillan por ti allá en lo alto
I want to see you smile to shareQuiero verte sonreir para compartir
Your joy, little oneTu alegria chiquitita

Once again I want to shareOtra vez quiero compartir
Your joy, little oneTu alegria chiquitita
Once again I want to shareOtra vez quiero compartir
