Killing Me Softly

Matándome Suavemente

Killing Me Softly

Tocando mi dolor con sus dedosStrumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabrasSinging my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con sus cancionesKilling me softly with his songs
Matándome suavemente con sus cancionesKilling me softly with his songs
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente con sus cancionesKilling me softly with his songs

Escuché que cantaba una buena canciónI heard he sang a good song
Escuché que tenía estiloI heard he had a style
Y así fui a verloAnd so I came to see him
Y escuchar por un ratoAnd listen for a while
Y allí estaba este jovenAnd there he was this young boy
Un desconocido para mis ojosA stranger to my eyes

Tocando mi dolor con sus dedosStrumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabrasSinging my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con sus cancionesKilling me softly with his songs
Matándome suavemente con sus cancionesKilling me softly with his songs
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente con sus cancionesKilling me softly with his songs

Un desconocido para mis ojosA stranger to my eyes
Sentí todo ruborizado de fiebreI felt all blushed 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

Recé para que terminaraI prayed that he would finish
Pero él simplemente siguióBut he just kept right on

Tocando mi dolor con sus dedosStrumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabrasSinging my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con sus cancionesKilling me softly with his songs
Matándome suavemente con sus cancionesKilling me softly with his songs
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente con sus cancionesKilling me softly with his songs
