Killing Me Softly With His Song

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

Oí que él cantaba muy bien
I heard he sang a good song
Oí que tenía estilo
I heard he had a style
Así que vine a verlo y escucharlo un poco
And so I came to see him and listen for a while
Y ahí estaba él, ese joven muchacho
And there he was, this young boy
Un extraño a 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
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 enrojecida por la fiebre
I felt all flushed with fever
Avergonzada por la multitud
Embarrassed by the crowd
Sentí que había encontrado mis cartas y leído
I felt he'd found my letters
Y las leyó cada una en voz alta
And read each one out loud
Recé para que terminara pronto
I prayed that he would finish
Pero simplemente 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
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 simplemente siguió cantando
And he just kept on singing
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
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

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
La-la-la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
La-ah-ah-ah-ah
La-ah-ah-ah-ah
La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

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)
Killing me (softly)

Él estaba rasgueando mi dolor
He was strumming my pain
Sí, estaba cantando mi vida
Yeah, he was singing my life
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
