Killing Me Softly

There was a girl
a very pretty girl
oh but she was lonely lonely here
I can see her now
I can hear her breathe now
I can feel her reaching out
Wishing there was someone by her side

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

Struming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
killing me softy with his song
killing me softly with his song
telling my whole life
with his words
killing me softly
with his song

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 stranger
He was singing clear and strong

Struming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
killing me softy with his song
killing me softly with his song
telling my whole life
with his words
killing me softly
with his song

Matándome suavemente

Había una chica
una chica muy bonita
Oh, pero ella estaba sola sola aquí
Puedo verla ahora
Puedo oírla respirar ahora
Puedo sentir que ella se extiende
Deseando haber alguien a su lado

Oí que cantó una buena canción
Oí que tenía un estilo
Así que vine a verlo para escucharlo un rato
Y allí estaba un joven, un extraño a mis ojos

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
matándome suave con su canción
matándome suavemente con su canción
contándome toda mi vida
con sus palabras
matándome suavemente
con su canción

Cantó como si me conociera en toda mi oscura desesperación
y luego miró a través de mí como si yo no estuviera allí
Pero él estaba allí extraño
Cantaba claro y fuerte

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
matándome suave con su canción
matándome suavemente con su canción
contándome toda mi vida
con sus palabras
matándome suavemente
con su canción
