Killing Me Softly
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
and so I came to see him
to listen for a while
and ther he was this young boy
a stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers
singing my life with his words
killing me softly with his song
killing me softly with his song
telling my whole life with his words
killing me softly with his song
I feelt all fushed with fever
embarassed by the srowd
I fellt he found my letters
and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
but he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers
singing my life with his words
killing me softly with his song
killing me softly with his song
telling my whole life with his words
killing me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me
in all my dark despair
and then he looked right right throught me
as if I wasn´t there
but he was there this strannger
singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers
singing my life with his words
killing me softly with his song
killing me softly with his song
telling my whole life with his words
killing me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente
Oí que cantó una buena canción
Oí que tenía un estilo
Así que vine a verlo
para escuchar por un rato
y allí era este joven
un extraño a mis ojos
Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos
cantando mi vida con sus palabras
matándome suavemente con su canción
matándome suavemente con su canción
contar toda mi vida con sus palabras
matándome suavemente con su canción
Me siento todo colado de fiebre
avergonzado por los astutos
Me pareció que encontró mis cartas
y leer cada uno en voz alta
Recé para que terminara
pero se mantuvo justo en
Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos
cantando mi vida con sus palabras
matándome suavemente con su canción
matándome suavemente con su canción
contar toda mi vida con sus palabras
matándome suavemente con su canción
Cantaba como si me conociera
en toda mi oscura desesperación
y luego miró justo a través de mí
como si yo no estuviera allí
pero él estaba allí este strannger
canto claro y fuerte
Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos
cantando mi vida con sus palabras
matándome suavemente con su canción
matándome suavemente con su canción
contar toda mi vida con sus palabras
matándome suavemente con su canción
