Killing Me Softly With His Song

Matándome Suavemente Con Su Canción

Killing Me Softly With His Song

Rasgueando 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 una buena canciónI heard he sang a good song
Escuché que tenía estiloI heard he had a style
Y así vine a verlo y escuchar un ratoAnd so I came to see him and listen for a while
Y ahí estaba, este chico jovenAnd there he was, this young boy
Un extraño para mis ojosA stranger to my eyes

Rasgueando 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
Me sentí todo sonrojado de fiebreI felt all flushed with fever
Avergonzado por la multitudEmbarrassed by the crowd
Sentí que había encontrado mis cartasI felt he'd found my letters
Y leyó cada una en voz altaAnd read each one out loud
Oré para que terminaraI prayed that he would finish
Pero él siguió cantandoBut he just kept right on

Rasgueando 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

Cantó como si me conocieraHe sang as if he knew me
En toda mi oscura desesperaciónIn all my dark despair
Y luego me miró a través de míAnd then he looked right through me
Como si no estuviera allíAs if I wasn't there
Y él siguió cantandoAnd he just kept on singing
Cantando claro y fuerteSinging clear and strong

Rasgueando 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

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohOh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
La-la-la, la, la, laLa-la-la, la, la, la
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
La-ah-ah-ah-ahLa-ah-ah-ah-ah
La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahLa-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Rasgueando 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
