Lyrics for Chiquitita as interpreted by Demau Senae

Chiquitita Lyrics
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

I think this is about a woman singing to a girl who has been abused and telling her that she will be okay and to be strong. Shows once again the depth of the stuff that ABBA sung about, they sung about stuff like rape, child abuse, sex, etc and yet made it sound like fairy floss.. clever guys.

i think this song is about a girl named chiquitita and she used to dance and sing but then her boyfriend told her "go to hell bitch!" and that broke her heart and now she's all like "oh no, my heart is broken like christopher reeve's back (RIP)" and then some lady came and she noticed something wrong in her good pal chiquitita so she asked her "whats wrong chiquitita?" and i guess chiquitita told the lady that her boyfriend send her to hell and that's when the lady says "oh chiquitita you'll be ok you'll see" so then chiquitita started singing but she sang the song she've singing the past 10 years so the lady told her "hey chiquitita dont be like that sing a new song chiquitita" so chiquitita instead of singing a new song she ran to the piano and started playing the living jesus out of it and thats about it.

This song makes me think of an older sister comforting her little sister.

Im not really a fan of Abba but i always liked this song. For some reason I always thought this song was a kind of double meaning for Spain/Spanish people (my brain works in mysterious ways). I thought it was about Spain (being chiquitita) kind of finding/healing itself (sing once more) after the end of the repression by General Franco's Regime (the walls came tumbling down). Plus this song came out around 1978 (I think) and Franco died around 75 (I think)

Along those lines I think it is a very beautiful song

but

In hindsight I think Abba were anything but political so Ive probably misinterpreted it

I didn't appreciate it until I heard Sinead O'Connor's version but beautiful lyrics about supporting a friend who has had her heart broken. Cloe to my fave Abba song.
