Killing Me Softly With His Song

Matándome Suavemente Con Su Canción

Killing Me Softly With His Song

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 canciónKilling me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling 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

Oí que él cantaba muy bienI heard he sang a good song
Oí que tenía estiloI heard he had a style
Así que vine a verlo y escucharlo un pocoAnd so I came to see him and listen for a while
Y ahí estaba él, ese joven muchachoAnd there he was, this young boy
Un extraño a mis ojosA stranger to my eyes

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 canciónKilling me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling 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 toda enrojecida por la fiebreI felt all flushed with fever
Avergonzada por la multitudEmbarrassed by the crowd
Sentí que había encontrado mis cartas y leídoI felt he'd found my letters
Y las leyó cada una en voz altaAnd read each one out loud
Recé para que terminara prontoI prayed that he would finish
Pero simplemente siguió adelanteBut he just kept right on

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 canciónKilling me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling 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

Cantaba como si me conocieraHe sang as if he knew me
En toda mi oscura desesperaciónIn all my dark despair
Y luego miró a través de míAnd then he looked right through me
Como si yo no estuvieraAs if I wasn't there
Y simplemente siguió cantandoAnd he just kept on singing
Cantando claro y fuerteSinging clear and strong

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 canciónKilling me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling 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

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohOh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
La-la-la, la, la, laLa-la-la, la, la, la
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
La-ah-ah-ah-ahLa-ah-ah-ah-ah
La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahLa-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

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 canciónKilling me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
