Matándome suavemente con su canción

Killing Me Softly With His Song

Tocando mi dolor con sus dedosStrumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabrasSinging my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song

Escuché que cantaba bien, escuché que tenía estiloI heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
Y así vine a verlo, a escuchar por un ratoAnd so I came to see him, to listen for a while
Y allí estaba, este joven muchacho, un desconocido para mis ojosAnd there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

Tocando mi dolor con sus dedosStrumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabrasSinging my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song

Sentí todo enrojecido de fiebre, avergonzado por la multitudI felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
Sentí que había encontrado mis cartas y las leyó en voz altaI felt he'd found my letters and read each one out loud
Recé para que terminara, pero él siguió adelanteI prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on

Tocando mi dolor con sus dedosStrumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabrasSinging my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavementeKilling me softly

Cantaba como si me conociera en toda mi oscura desesperaciónHe sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
Y luego me miró como si no estuviera allíAnd then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
Pero él estaba allí, este extraño, cantando claro y fuerteBut he was there, this stranger, singing clear and loud

Tocando mi dolor con sus dedosStrumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabrasSinging my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song

Tocando mi dolor con sus dedosStrumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabrasSinging my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
