Killing Me Softly

Matándome Suavemente

Killing Me Softly

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedosStrumming my pain with his fingers
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 canciónKilling me softly with his song
Contando mi vida entera 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
Y así vine a verlo, y a escuchar un ratoAnd so I came to see him, and listen for a while
Y allí estaba, este joven, un extraño a mis ojosAnd there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedosStrumming my pain with his fingers
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 canciónKilling me softly with his song
Contando toda mi vida con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canciónKilling me softly, with his song

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

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedosStrumming my pain with his fingers
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 canciónKilling me softly with his song
Contando mi vida entera con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canciónKilling me softly, with his song

Rasgueando mi dolor con sus dedosStrumming my pain with his fingers
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 canciónKilling me softly with his song
Contando mi vida entera con sus palabrasTelling my whole life with his words
Matándome suavemente, con su canciónKilling me softly, with his song
