Killing Me Softly With His Song

Matándome suavemente con su canción

Killing Me Softly With His Song

rasgando 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

Escuché que cantaba una buena canción
I heard he sang a good song
Escuche que tenia un estilo
I heard he had a style
Y entonces vine a verlo
And so I came to see him
Para escuchar un rato
To listen for a while
Y ahí estaba, este joven
And there he was, this young boy
Un extraño a mis ojos
A stranger to my eyes

rasgando 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 todo enrojecido por la 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 siguió adelante
But he just kept right on

rasgando 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

Cantaba como si me conociera
He sang as if 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
As if I wasn't there
Y siguió cantando
And he just kept on singing
Cantando claro y fuerte
Singing clear and strong

rasgando 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

rasgando 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
