"Chiquitita" means 'little girl' (with affection) in spanish And the melody have a spanish tune, specialy by the acustic guitar But the center is the wonderful piano, like akmost all ABBA songs "Chiquitita" is a beautiful song, it has hopeful lyrics, a melody that starts very soft with the blonde Agnetha's solo, then grows and explodes in a powerful chorus; Agnetha and Anni Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence (Agnetha is soprano, Anni Frid is mezzo soprano, and together blending together the 'Third Voice' of ABBA) "Chiquitita" was composed especially for the Concert by UNICEF, invited (with a lot of artist) by Bee Gees ABBA premiered "Chiquitita" that night in January 9 (1979), and its royalties are eternal for UNICEF "Chiquitita" was ABBA's greatest success in Latin America, that prompted ABBA to record it in Spanish, and its success was so extraordinary that in the following years ABBA recorded an album with its best songs entirely in Spanish "Chiquitita" was specialy the greatest hit of ABBA in my country Argentina "Chiquitita" is in the Top 3 of all ABBA worldwide biggest hits, with 'Dancing Queen" and "Fernando", and it's a fantastic Masterpiece This promotional video was in February 1979 in Swizterland, when ABBA go there to a special TV "ABBA in Switzerland", for the 'International year of the Child' (That's why the snowman) It's their only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden I wish to see you soon in another reactions to ABBA songs GOD bless you and stay safe My best regards from Argentina

ABBA - Goat of pop! They have got so many gems and are so versitale. If you want more of this kind of melancolic songs - try for exemple One Of Us, Fernando, SOS, Slipping Through My Fingers, My Love My Life and the breakupsongs The Winner Takes It All, Knowing Me Knowing You and When All Is Said And Done. ABBA have got great uptempogems aswell (and largest hits) - can’t get wrong with them. Their music based the huge theatre-show Mamma Mia (and later the movies aswell). All wonderful music related to life singing totally in 5 languages (English, Swedish, Spanish, German and French). This song is in top 10 for me… My fav - a romantic R and B-feeling - The Name Of The Game. Good luck digging - loved your reaction by the way ❤

Originally, this was called "In The Arms Of Rozellita." Bjorn Ulvaeus, who wrote the song, liked the title but couldn't find a matching story, so it became "Chiquitita." ABBA performed this song in 1979 at the Music for UNICEF Concert. ABBA donated half the proceeds from the song to UNICEF. Chiquitita, in Spanish, means "Very Little Girl." To facilitate a breakthrough in South America, ABBA recorded a Spanish-language version of this song, despite the fact the band had never learned the language. The Swedes sang the song phonetically and their efforts enhanced their popularity in a number of Latin America countries. This song reached #1 in Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Rhodesia, South Africa, Spain and Switzerland. Leona Lewis performed this while she was a contestant on The X Factor (UK) in 2006. Cher covered this in 2020 as a charity single to benefit UNICEF. The veteran singer released both English and Spanish versions, marking her first single in the Spanish language.
