Chiquita
The Singers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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′ve broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they′re leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
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 tumbling down
And your love′s a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they′re leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
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




Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Overall Meaning

The Singers' song "Chiquitita" expresses concern and empathy for a friend who is going through a difficult time. The lyrics start by acknowledging that the friend is "enchained by [her] own sorrow" and that there seems to be no hope for tomorrow. The singer hates to see her friend so sad and hopes to provide comfort and support. The second verse encourages the friend to open up and share her true feelings, assuring her that the singer is a shoulder to cry on and someone to rely on. The third verse acknowledges that heartaches come and go and leave scars behind, but encourages the friend to believe that she will dance again and the pain will end. The chorus reminds the friend that she is not alone in her pain, but that she and the singer will cry together. However, they will also rise above their sadness and find hope in the sun that is still shining above them. Finally, the chorus encourages the friend to find her voice again and sing a new song, trying once more like she did before.

Ridiculously good for a 13 year old. She is going to be a superstar for as long as she wants to be.
