Chiquitita is a diminutive of chiquita, which means "little one" or "tiny one." It's an endearing term, often used to express affection, especially towards a child or a loved one.
In this song, Edén Muñoz uses chiquitita at the very end, almost as a tender whisper, addressing the person he's singing to. It adds a layer of intimacy and warmth, making the listener feel the deep affection and care he has for this "little one," even if he can't see her.
Edén Muñoz wrote this one as a long-distance hug. His friend on the other end had a gray day and wants to run from it, so he answers with a promise instead of advice: "Yo haré canciones para ver" (I will make songs to see), "si así consigo hacerte sonreír" (if that's how I manage to make you smile). The fear underneath the song isn't losing her affection. It's losing contact entirely: "El no volver a verte nunca más" (never seeing you again).
The middle section turns that fear physical. He watches rain fall on his window that isn't actually there: "Creo ver la lluvia caer en mi ventana" (I think I see the rain falling on my window), "No es más que un reflejo de mi pensamiento" (it's just a reflection of my thoughts). By the chorus he drops the images and says the plain version instead: "Que te estaré escuchando aunque no te pueda ver" (I'll be listening to you even if I can't see you). This particular recording is a live session, and it opens with Muñoz talking straight to the camera before he plays a note, which fits a song built entirely around staying close without being close.
