Killing me softly

Matándome suavemente

Killing me softly

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 canción, matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song
Contando toda mi vidaTelling my whole life
Con sus palabrasWith his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canciónKilling me softly, with his song

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

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos, cantando mi vida con sus palabrasStrumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canción, matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song, killing 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 encontró mis cartasI felt he 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 sin pararBut he just kept right on

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos, cantando mi vida con sus palabrasStrumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canción, matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song, killing 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
