Killing Me Softly With His Song
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 heard he sang a good song, i heard he had a style
And so i came to see him, and listen for a while.
And there 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 felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt 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
Oh, oh, oh... la, la, la, la...
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly... with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Tocando mi dolor con sus dedos
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente, con su canción
Escuché que cantaba una buena canción, escuché que tenía estilo
Y así vine a verlo, y escuchar por un rato.
Y allí estaba él, este joven muchacho, un extraño para mis ojos
Tocando mi dolor con sus dedos
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente, con su canción
Me sentí toda sofocada de fiebre, avergonzada por la multitud
Sentí que encontró mis cartas, y leyó cada una en voz alta
Recé para que terminara, pero él simplemente siguió
Tocando mi dolor con sus dedos
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente, con su canción
Oh, oh, oh... la, la, la, la...
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente... con su canción
