Chiquitita/ Little Girl

Chiquitita I am sorry That you are blue and black That he’s taught you that all you have worth Is your body And that you think that you are dumb. Chiquitita it’s alright to cry But why do you keep believing his lies? He’s made a spider web of deceptions And you are his prey this time. He gets angry at you Tells you that you are a good for nothing That this is for your own good Y lo se my chiquitita, I know that you think he’s telling the truth. Well he’s a smooth liar, Charming as can be, You thought he was your sweet prince But what came out were injuries, Your wings have been broken There’s no escaping At least that’s what you think, But listen chiquitita You can follow me tonight And we can leave before dawn. He won’t change, And your skin will turn from white To Blue To Black And finally just a river of red When he’s done with you. You know I’ll always be the shoulder you can cry on, Oh don’t deny the things he does Un machista, Eso es lo que el es Thinking that man have to be tough And beat up the one they care for. Listen chiquitita That’s just not it, Sure he was probably taught that by his father His culture The media, Boys don’t cry, Instead they are tough, They are the providers And show no emotions. Sure that might be what he learned But there’s no helping him, Pero tu, But you there is helping, Just let go of him. Honey Roses are red Violets are blue I am sure you wonder Why he’s beating you. That smooth criminal With eyes perfectly guarded If I could save a soul tonight Then you will be the one. Chiquitita listen to me, El siempre sera haci, Just pack your bags And let’s be gone… It might be too late next time. Mi querida chiquitita, Remember when I told you to run And you didn’t listen? Cuando te dije Time after time Leave him But all you kept saying was “He’ll change, he loves me, El es el unico para mi” Now where are we? In this black world Where tears mix Where it’s too late And all I can see is the stupid scars, He abuses you, And you ignore me You keep making excuses for him And where did it get us? You in a basket, Me mourning, People that care about you suffering, All because it was too late to stop it. Now you are gone, I am alone, Everyone keeps asking me stupid questions And look at me like I am suppose to know But I am so tired And all I want to do is…scream, Tu memoria sique aqui Your ghost follows me Making me wonder why… Porque no te pude sarbar, Why I couldn’t save you. Tu memoria sique aqui Porque no te pude sarbar
