Chiqitita

When I was a little girl my dad used to call me chiquitita it means small in Spanish :) great description of me huh? Well I was not fond of the name... and he would always sing that song from ABBA chiquitita when I pouted or when I would cry for no reason. I would get so mad and say DAD!! I am not a little girl!!! so the other day when I was having a bad day and was well I am really emotional that song came on, and I cried because it brought back memories. All I could think was I wish my dad was here to sing me that song. I think as children we take so many things for granted, so as an adult I am trying to make up for those times!!! I never paid attention to the message behind the lyrics of that song and I loved them!! so here is that song!! it is now on my play list at work!! I listen to it when I get sad :)



Chiquitita, tell me whats wrong

Youre enchained by your own sorrow

In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow

How I hate to see you like thisT

here is no way you can deny it

I can see that youre oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truthIm a shoulder you can cry on

Your best friend, Im the one you must rely on

You were always sure of yourselfNow I see youve broken a featherI hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I knowHow the heartaches come and they go

and the scars theyre leavingYoull be dancing once again and the pain will end

You will have no time for grievingChiquitita,

you and I cryBut the sun is still in the sky and shining above you

Let me hear you sing once more like you did beforeSing a new song,

chiquititaTry once more like you did before

Sing a new song, chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down

And your loves a blown out candle

All is gone and it seems too hard to handleChiquitita, tell me the truth

There is no way you can deny itI see that youre oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I knowHow the heartaches come and they go and the scars theyre leaving

Youll be dancing once again and the pain will end

You will have no time for grievingChiquitita,

you and I cryBut the sun is still in the sky and shining above you

Let me hear you sing once more like you did beforeSing a new song,

chiquititaTry once more like you did before

Sing a new song, chiquitita

Try once more like you did beforeSing a new song, chiquitita
