Hey music lovers
I'm here again for vibes Web3 Music competition for the third week.... I'm elated to be sharing one of the amazing songs by Swedish pop group, ABBA, with us. The title of the song, "Chiquitita" is a Spanish word for "little girl". The lyrics of the song entails the comfort and encouragement given to a heartbroken friend.
This song has a special place in my heart. I didn't just learn it on my own but I learnt from my mom. Right from childhood, I picked up songs I hear my mom sing a lot. My mom adores ABBA songs like no man's business. She usually write down all the lyrics of the songs she loves and this wasn't an exception. My mom made me love music. I had a bad singing voice while growing up and I didn't always want to sing outside for people to hear me because I feel and I also knew that people will make jest of me. Anytime I tried singing and I was mocked, I usually come home crying because my mates always criticize me destructively. To make me happy, my mom will always sing 'Chiquitita' for me😊 So, I just sticked to singing indoors with my mom, following her lead.
When I was older, my mom suggested that I join the choir by all means because from there, my voice will be worked on and the fear and shyness in me will be killed. The decision I took made me better than I was. I'm also working on improving my singing ability to the standard that I will always get a standing ovation whenever I sing🥰
Therefore, this song reminds me a lot of my mom whenever I hear it.
*Thank you for listening and reading through ❤️🤍❤️*
Song Lyrics
Chiquitita, tell me what’s wrong Y
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
