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 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 suavementeKilling me softly
Con su canciónWith his song

OhOoh

Escuché que cantaba una buena canciónI heard he sang a good song
Escuché que tenía estiloI heard he had a style
Y así vine a verlo y escuchar por un ratoAnd so I came to see him and listen for awhile
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 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 suavementeKilling me softly
Con su canciónWith his song

Me sentí sofocada por la fiebreI felt all flushed with fever
Avergonzada 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
Rogaba que terminaraI pray that he would finish
Pero él seguía adelanteBut 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 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 suavementeKilling me softly
Con su canciónWith his song

Cantaba como si me conocieraHe sang as if he knew me
En toda mi oscura desesperaciónIn all my dark despair
Y luego me miraba como si no estuviera allíAnd then he looked right through me as if I was not there
Y él seguía cantando,And he just kept on singing,
Cantando claro y fuerteSinging clear and strong

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 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 suavementeKilling me softly
Con su canciónWith his song

OhOoh
La la la la la laLa la la la la la
OhOoh
La la laLa la la
La la la laLa la la la

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 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 suavementeKilling me softly
