| Chiquitita, dis-moi pourquoi
Quand la vie est triste à pleurer Tant de larmes et tant de secrets C’est l’automne d’un premier amour Mais l’amour, tu sais, n’y est pour rien Un nouveau printemps qui revient Chiquitita, je sais trop bien La blessure d’un premier chagrin Fait mal très longtemps Mais tout passe avec le temps Et le temps dépasse Chiquitita, je sais comme toi Le premier bonheur qui s’en va Fait mal très longtemps Et chanter plus fort Chanter pour toi, Chiquitita Chiquitita, ferme les yeux Mets ta tête au creux de mes bras Là tu vas T’endormir tout comme autrefois On n’oublie pas mais tu verras Tu vas retrouver ton sourire Demain, tu voleras Chiquitita, je sais trop bien La blessure d’un premier chagrin Fait mal très longtemps Mais tout passe avec le temps Et le temps dépasse Et remet l’amour à sa place Chiquitita, je sais comme toi Le premier bonheur qui s’en va Fait mal très longtemps Mais tu vas chanter encore Et chanter plus fort Chanter pour toi, Chiquitita Chanter fort Et chanter encore Chanter pour toi Chiquitita Chanter fort Et chanter encore Chanter pour toi Chiquitita |
Chiquitita, tell me why
When life is sad to cry You keep in the bottom of you So many tears and so many secrets It is the autumn of the first love But love, you know, is not for nothing There is always A new spring returns Chiquitita, I know too well The wound of a first grief Hurt very long But everything passes with time And time exceeds And put love back in its place Chiquitita, I know like you The first happiness that goes away Hurt very long But you will sing again And sing louder Singing for you, Chiquitita Chiquitita, close your eyes Put your head in the hollow of my arms There you are going Going to sleep as in the past We do not forget but you will see You’ll find your smile Tomorrow you will fly In the sky of your future Chiquitita, I know too well The wound of a first grief Hurt very long But everything passes with time And time exceeds And put love back in its place Chiquitita, I know like you The first happiness that goes away Hurt very long But you will sing again And sing louder Singing for you, Chiquitita Sing strong And sing again Singing for you Chiquitita Sing strong And sing again Singing for you Chiquitita |
