Killing Me Softly

Matándome suavemente

Killing Me Softly

Oí que cantó una buena canción
I heard he sang a good song
Oí que tenía un estilo
I heard he had a style
Así que vine a verlo
and so I came to see him
para escuchar por un rato
to listen for a while
y allí era este joven
and ther he was this young boy
un extraño a mis ojos
a stranger to my eyes

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus 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 siento todo colado de fiebre
I feelt all fushed with fever
avergonzado por los astutos
embarassed by the srowd
Me pareció que encontró mis cartas
I fellt he found my letters
y leer cada uno en voz alta
and read each one out loud
Recé para que terminara
I prayed that he would finish
pero se mantuvo justo en
but he just kept right on

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus 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

Cantaba como si me conociera
He sang as if he knew me
en toda mi oscura desesperación
in all my dark despair
y luego miró justo a través de mí
and then he looked right right throught me
como si yo no estuviera allí
as if I wasn´t there
pero él estaba allí este strannger
but he was there this strannger
canto claro y fuerte
singing clear and strong

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus 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
