Killin' Me Softly

Matándome Suavemente

Killin' Me Softly

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 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 por un ratoAnd so I came to see him, and listen for a while
Y allí estaba, este joven muchachoAnd there he was, this young boy
Un extraño para mis ojosA 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
Me sentí sofocada por la fiebreI felt all flushed with fever
Avergonzada por la multitudEmbarrassed by the crowd
Sentí que había encontrado mis cartas y leídoI felt he'd found my letters and read
cada una en voz altaEach one out loud
Recé para que terminaraI prayed that he would finish
Pero él simplemente siguióBut 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 suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song

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

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)Killing me (softly)

Él estaba tocando mi dolorHe was strumming my pain
Sí, estaba cantando mi vidaYeah, he was singing my life
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
