ABBA – Chiquitita lyrics

ABBA – 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

This song is used in mamma mia. In the film, this is where the mother discovers that all of her ex-boyfriend, who all left her, have come. She is so upset, and her 2 friends sing this song, to try and get her to a, tell them what the bloody fudge is going on, and b, to cheer her up. This is a song about heartbreak, but also about friendship, and getting up after you've fallen down. About being sad, but knowing that there's Sunshine behind the Clouds. The friends are being ridiculous to try and cheer her up.
At the end of the song, the mum (Donna, by the by) sings a verse along, and then sniffles: "it's her dad"
This song is a real cheer - you - upper.
Whether it's your own, or a friend's sorrow, this is just about one of the best songs to make you feel better. Asuming, at least, that you are one of those people who's mood can be influenced by what songs they are listening to, or who's emotiones can be enlarged by what they are listening to. If you are, and are feeling blue, this is most definately the right song for you. :).

D song meant more than d ordinary imaginative conceptualizing undastanding. It touches every as of life one cud imagine. It gives joy to d hopeless, peace to d weary and finally binds up d broken-hearted. I can never be tired of listening to d lyric throughout my life time. I have seen d band as d next william shakespeare of our generation. Pls, abba come back and give us another soul searching and spirit filled track to be world number 1 again. I love you all, abba.
