Killing Me Softly

Matándome suavemente

Killing Me Softly

Rasgueando mi dolor con los dedos (una vez)Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time)
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras (dos veces)Singing my life with his words (two times)
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canciónKilling me softly, with his song

Oí que cantaba una buena canción, oí que tenía un estiloI heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
Así que vine a verlo y a escucharlo un ratoAnd so I came to see him, and listen for a while
Y allí estaba él, este joven, un extraño para mis ojosAnd there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

Rasgueando mi dolor con los dedos (una vez)Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time)
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras (dos veces)Singing my life with his words (two times)
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canciónKilling me softly, with his song

Me sentí llena de fiebre, avergonzada por la multitudI felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
Sentí que encontró mis cartas, y las leía en voz altaI felt he found my letters, and read each one out loud
Recé para que terminara, pero siguió adelanteI prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on

Rasgueando mi dolor con los dedos (una vez)Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time)
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras (dos veces)Singing my life with his words (two times)
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canciónKilling me softly with his song
Contar 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, ohOh, oh, oh
La, la, la, laLa, la, la, la

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos (sí, él estaba cantando mi vida)Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing my life)
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 canción (sí)Killing me softly with his song (yeah)
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabras (toda la vida, sus palabras)Telling my whole life with his words (whole life, his words)
MatándomeKilling me
