Killing Me Sofly

Matándome Sofly

Killing Me Sofly

Destruendo mi dolor con los dedos
Struming 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
Telling my whole life
Con sus palabras
With his words
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly 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 ver
And so I came to see
Y escucha un rato
And listen for a while

Y allí estaba este joven
And there he was this young
Chico
Boy
Un extraño a mis ojos
A stranger to my eyes
Destruendo mi dolor con los dedos
Struming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Singing my life with his words
Matándome suave con su canción
Killing me softy with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Contar toda mi vida
Telling my whole life
Con sus palabras
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
Avergonzado por la multitud
Embarrassed by the crowd
Sentí que encontró mi carta
I felt he found my letter
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 justo en
But he just kept right on

Destruendo mi dolor con los dedos
Struming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Singing my life with his words
Matándome suave con su canción
Killing me softy with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Contar toda mi vida
Telling my whole life
Con sus palabras
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 oscuridad, justo
In all my darkness fair
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
Y él seguía cantando
And he just kept on singing
Cantando claro y fuerte
Singing clear and strong

Destruendo mi dolor con los dedos
Struming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Singing my life with his words
Matándome suave con su canción
Killing me softy with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Contar toda mi vida
Telling my whole life
Con sus palabras
With his words
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song

Ooooh oh oh
Oooh ooh
Lalalal oooh lalaa
Lalalal oooh lalaa

Destruendo mi dolor con los dedos
Struming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Singing my life with his words
Matándome suave con su canción
Killing me softy with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Contar toda mi vida
Telling my whole life
Con sus palabras
With his words
Matándome (en voz baja)
Killing me (softly)

Estaba rasguñando mi dolor
He was strumming my pain
Sí, estaba cantando mi vida
Yeah he was singing my life
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
