Killing Me Softly

Matándome en voz baja

Killing Me Softly

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

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 verlo y escucharlo por un tiempoAnd so I came to see him and listen for a while
Y allí estaba este muchachoAnd there he was this young boy
Un extraño a 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
Avergonzado por la multitudEmbarrassed by the crowd
Sentí que encontró mis cartas y leyó cada una en voz altaI felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
Recé para que terminaraI prayed that he would finish
Pero se mantuvo justo enBut 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 suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song

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 mí como si no estuviera allíAnd then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
Y él seguía cantandoAnd he just kept on singing
Cantando claro y fuerteSinging clear and strong

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 canción!Killing me softly with his song!
