Otra vez

Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado

Chiquitita, dime por que 

tu dolor hoy te encadena

en tus ojos hay

una sombra de gran pena.

No quisiera verte asi, aunque quieras disimularlo

si es que tan triste estas para que quieres callarlo.

 ..tell me what's wrong

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, dimelo tu en mi hombro, aqui llorando cuenta conmigo

ya para asi seguir andando

Tan segura te conoci y ahora tu ala quebrada 

dejamela arreglar

yo la quiero ver curada.

.......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, sabes muy bien que las penas vienen y van y desaparecen

otra vez vas a bailar y seras feliz,

como flores que florecen.

No hay que llorar, las estrellas brillan por ti alla en lo alto,

quiero verte sonreir para compartir tu allegria, chiquitita.

....you and I know
how the heartaches
come and they go
and the scars they're leavin'
you'll be dancin' once again
and the pain will end
you will have no time for grievin'

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

:::::

These are the lyrics of a very popular song, Chiquitita.

Have you heard it before?

:::

As you know next month will be a year that Beli's Great-Grandfather passed away.

Today,

the same great heartache is being relived.

Beli's second Great-Grandfather is ill.

That's why I chose this song.

It very well describes the great sadness in my heart.

you and I cry
but the sun is still in the sky
and shining above you
let me hear you sing once more.

one of my dear friends' advice, "celebrate the moments you have now, let there be no regrets."
