Killing Me Softly With His Song

Oí que cantó una buena canción
I heard he sang a good song
Oí que tenía un estilo
I heard he had a style
Así que vine a verlo
And so I came to see him
Escuchar un rato
To listen for a while
Y ahí estaba, este joven
And there he was, this young boy
Un extraño para mis ojos
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
Contar 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 ruborizada de fiebre
I felt all flushed with fever
Avergonzado por la multitud
Embarrassed by the crowd
Sentí que encontró mis cartas
I felt he found my letters
Y lee cada uno en voz alta
And read each one out loud
Recé para que terminara
I prayed that he would finish
Pero él sólo siguió adelante
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
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabras
Telling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song

Cantaba como si me conociera
He sang as if it he knew me
En toda mi oscura desesperación
In all my dark despair
Y luego miró a través de mí
And then he looked right through me
Como si yo no estuviera allí
As if I wasn't there
Pero él estaba allí, este extraño
But he was there, this stranger
Cantando claro y fuerte
Singing clear and strong

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
Contar toda mi vida con sus palabras
Telling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Killing me softly with his song
