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