Killing Me Soflty With His Song
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To 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
Embarassed 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.
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there.
But he was there a stranger
Singing clear and loud
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...
Matándome Soflty Con Su Canción
Escuché que cantaba una buena canción
Escuché que tenía un estilo
Así que vine a verlo
Escuchar un rato
Y allí estaba este muchacho
Un extraño para mis ojos
Rasguando mi dolor con los dedos
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente, con su canción
Me sentí toda enrojecida de fiebre
Emprendido por la muchedumbre
Sentí que encontró mis cartas
Y lee cada uno en voz alta
Recé para que terminara
Pero se mantuvo en la derecha
Rasguando mi dolor con los dedos
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente
Cantaba como si me conociera
En toda mi desesperación oscura
Y luego miró a través de mí
Como si no estuviera allí
Pero él estaba allí un extraño
Cantando claro y fuerte
Rasguando mi dolor con los dedos
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente, con su canción
