Killing Me Softly

Matándome Suavemente

Killing Me Softly

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Singing my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Contando mi vida entera con sus palabras
Telling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canción
Killing me softly, with his song

Oí que cantaba una buena canción, oí que tenía un estilo
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
Y así vine a verlo, y a escuchar un rato
And so I came to see him, and listen for a while
Y allí estaba, este joven, un extraño a mis ojos
And there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Singing my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabras
Telling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canción
Killing me softly, with his song

Me sentí toda sonrojada por la fiebre, avergonzada por la multitud
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
Sentí que encontró mis cartas, y leyó cada una en voz alta
I felt he found my letters, and read each one out loud
Recé para que terminara, pero él siguió
I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Singing my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Contando mi vida entera con sus palabras
Telling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canción
Killing me softly, with his song

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Singing my life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
Contando mi vida entera con sus palabras
Telling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canción
Killing me softly, with his song
