Escuché que ella cantó una buena canción
I heard he sang a good song
Escuché que tenía un estilo
I heard he had a style
Y entonces vine a verla
And so I came to see him
escuchar por un tiempo
To listen for a while
y allí estaba ella, esta jovencita
And there he was, this young boy
Una extraña 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
Sentí que me sonrojaba con fiebre
I felt all flushed with fever
Avergonzado por la multitud
Embarrassed by the crowd
Sentí que ella encontró mis cartas
I felt he′d found my letters
Y lee cada una en voz alta
And read each one out loud
Recé para que ella terminara
I prayed that he would finish
Pero ella sólo sigue
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
Ella cantó 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 no estuviera allí
As if I wasn't there
Pero ella estaba allí con un extraño
But he was there this stranger
Cantando fuerte y claro
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
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
