Killing Me Soflty With His Song

Escuché que cantaba una buena canción
I heard he sang a good song
Escuché que tenía un estilo
I heard he had a style
Así que vine a verlo
And so I came to see him
Escuchar un rato
To listen for a while.

Y allí estaba este muchacho
And there he was this young boy
Un extraño para mis ojos
A stranger to my eyes.
Rasguando mi dolor con los dedos
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Singing my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabras
Telling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canción
Killing me softly, with his song.

Me sentí toda enrojecida de fiebre
I felt all flushed with fever
Emprendido por la muchedumbre
Embarassed by the crowd,
Sentí que encontró mis cartas
I felt he found my letters
Y lee cada uno en voz alta
And read each one out loud.

Recé para que terminara
I prayed that he would finish
Pero se mantuvo en la derecha
But he just kept right on.
Rasguando mi dolor con los dedos
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Singing my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabras
Telling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente
Killing me softly.

Cantaba como si me conociera
He sang as if he knew me
En toda mi desesperación oscura
In all my dark despair
Y luego miró a través de mí
And then he looked right through me
Como si no estuviera allí
As if I wasn't there.

Pero él estaba allí un extraño
But he was there a stranger
Cantando claro y fuerte
Singing clear and loud
Rasguando mi dolor con los dedos
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Singing my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabras
Telling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canción
Killing me softly, with his song...
