- Chiquitita - ABBA
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.
- Notas: La canción se ubica en la persona de alguien que intenta animar a una
mujer a la que se refiere como “Chiquitita” y que parece sufrir de una profunda
depresión. Le pide que mire el lado bueno de las cosas y que no deje que la
pena la controle y la esclavice. Para apoyarla le recuerda que siempre puede
contar con ella, que siempre le prestará un hombro sobre el que llorar.
- 1. “…sorrow…” = El “sorrow” es la pena o dolor que siente alguien que está triste.
- 2. “…patch it up…” = Este phrasal se usa para hablar de arreglar un roto poniendole un parche. En este caso se compara a la protagonista de la canción con una pluma rota que esperan poder parchear.
- 3. “…tumbling down…” = Otro phrasal verb, este se usa con el sentido de “venirse abajo”, como los muros de los que se habla en la canción, que es una metáfora para referirse a la vida de la protagonista de la canción.
