Killing Me Softly

There was a girlHabía una chica

a very pretty girluna chica muy bonita

oh but she was lonely lonely hereOh, pero ella estaba sola sola aquí

I can see her nowPuedo verla ahora

I can hear her breathe nowPuedo oírla respirar ahora

I can feel her reaching outPuedo sentir que ella se extiende

Wishing there was someone by her sideDeseando haber alguien a su lado

I heard he sang a good song,Oí que cantó una buena canción

I heard he had a styleOí que tenía un estilo

And so I came to see him to listen for a whileAsí que vine a verlo para escucharlo un rato

And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyesY allí estaba un joven, un extraño a mis ojos

Struming my pain with his fingersRasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos

Singing my life with his wordsCantando mi vida con sus palabras

killing me softy with his songmatándome suave con su canción

killing me softly with his songmatándome suavemente con su canción

telling my whole lifecontándome toda mi vida

with his wordscon sus palabras

killing me softlymatándome suavemente

with his songcon su canción

He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despairCantó como si me conociera en toda mi oscura desesperación

and then he looked right through me as if I wasn't therey luego miró a través de mí como si yo no estuviera allí

But he was there strangerPero él estaba allí extraño

He was singing clear and strongCantaba claro y fuerte

Struming my pain with his fingersRasgueando mi dolor con sus dedos

Singing my life with his wordsCantando mi vida con sus palabras

killing me softy with his songmatándome suave con su canción

killing me softly with his songmatándome suavemente con su canción

telling my whole lifecontándome toda mi vida

with his wordscon sus palabras

killing me softlymatándome suavemente

with his songcon su canción
