Killing Me Soflty With His Song

Escuché que cantaba una buena canciónI heard he sang a good song
Escuché que tenía un estiloI heard he had a style
Así que vine a verloAnd so I came to see him
Escuchar un ratoTo listen for a while.

Y allí estaba este muchachoAnd there he was this young boy
Un extraño para mis ojosA stranger to my eyes.
Rasguando mi dolor con los 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
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canciónKilling me softly, with his song.

Me sentí toda enrojecida de fiebreI felt all flushed with fever
Emprendido por la muchedumbreEmbarassed by the crowd,
Sentí que encontró mis cartasI felt he found my letters
Y lee cada uno en voz altaAnd read each one out loud.

Recé para que terminaraI prayed that he would finish
Pero se mantuvo en la derechaBut he just kept right on.
Rasguando mi dolor con los 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
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavementeKilling me softly.

Cantaba como si me conocieraHe sang as if he knew me
En toda mi desesperación oscuraIn all my dark despair
Y luego miró a través de míAnd then he looked right through me
Como si no estuviera allíAs if I wasn't there.

Pero él estaba allí un extrañoBut he was there a stranger
Cantando claro y fuerteSinging clear and loud
Rasguando mi dolor con los 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
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canciónKilling me softly, with his song...
