Chiquita Lyrics English Translation by Camilo
A bailar, a bailar
How can a person so tiny
Take up such a giant space?
How can a little ant’s step
Leave an elephant’s footprint in my heart?
You took over my life immediately
And as soon as you arrived I was scared of losing you
With you I realized that the more time passes
The more I wanna push it back, so it goes slower for us
Here’s the one who wants to hold your hand
Even though sometimes it seems like you wanna hold on to just one finger
And every time it hurts me to say goodbye when I have to leave
You ask me to stay and I stay
Here’s the one who loves you, loves you, loves you
Here’s the one who loves you, loves you, loves you
Here’s the one who loves you, loves you, loves you
Here’s the one who loves you, loves you, loves you
Sad is the life of someone looking at photos wanting to go back
Spends their whole life wishing they were more over there than here
Everything I would give to look at myself the way you do
You’re the photo that shows up when I search for the word “fullness”
Here’s the one who wants to hold your hand
Even though sometimes it seems like you wanna hold on to just one finger
And every time it hurts me to say goodbye when I have to leave
You ask me to stay and I stay
Here’s the one who loves you, loves you, loves you
Here’s the one who loves you, loves you, loves you
Here’s the one who loves you, loves you, loves you
Here’s the one who loves you, loves you, loves you
Here’s the one who loves you, loves you, loves you
Here’s the one who loves you, loves you, loves you
Here’s the one who loves you, loves you, loves you
Here’s the one who loves you, loves you, loves you
Here’s the one who wants to hold your hand
Even though sometimes it seems like you wanna hold on to just one finger
And every time it hurts me to say goodbye when I have to leave
You ask me to stay and I stay
