I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style.
And so I came to see him to listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song.

I felt all flushed with fever, emberrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on.

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song.

He sang it as he knew me in all my dark despair
and then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there.
But he was there this stranger singing clear and strong.

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song.

He was strumming there,
yea, he was singing my life.

Killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song.
Tradução:
Dedilhando minha dor com seus dedos
Cantando minha vida com suas palavras
Matando-me suavemente com sua canção
Matando-me suavemente com sua canção
Contando minha vida inteira com suas palavras
Matando-me suavemente com sua canção

Eu ouvi dizer que ele cantava muito bem
Eu ouvi dizer que ele tinha um estilo
E então eu vim vê-lo
E ouvi-lo por um momento
E lá estava ele, este jovem menino
Um estranho aos meus olhos

Eu me senti toda vermelha de febre
Com vergonha do público
Eu senti que ele encontrou minhas cartas
E leu cada uma em voz alta
Eu rezei para que ele acabasse
Mas ele apenas continuou

Ele cantava como se me conhecesse
E meu profundo desespero
Então ele olhou através de mim
Como se eu não estivesse lá
E ele continuou cantando
Cantando alto e claro

Ele foi tão persistente
Sim, ele estava cantando minha vida
Matando-me suavemente com sua canção
Matando-me suavemente com sua canção
Contando minha vida inteira com suas palavras
Matando-me suavemente com sua canção
