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

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
(one time, one time)
singing my life with his words,
(two time, two time)
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, embarrassed 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,
(one time, one time)
singing my life with his words,
(two time, two time)
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

(instramental interlude)

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
(yes he was)
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

Matandome suavemente

Escuche que el cantaba una buena cancion
escuche que el tenia estilo
y entonces vine a verlo
para escuchar por un rato
y alli el estaba, este joven
un extraño para mis ojos

rasgando mi dolor con sus dedos
cantando mi vida con sus palabras
matandome suavemente con su cancion
matandome suavemente con su cancion
contando toda mi vida, con sus palabras,
matandome suavemente, con su cancion.

Me senti toda sonrojada con fiebre
avergonzada por el publico
senti que el encontro mis cartas
y leyo cada una en vos alta
reze para que el terminara
pero el solo seguia

rasgando mi dolor con sus dedos
cantando mi vida con sus palabras
matandome suavemente con su cancion
matandome suavemente con su cancion
contando toda mi vida, con sus palabras,
matandome suavemente, con su cancion.

El cantó como si me conociera
en todas mis oscuras penurias
y despues el miro atravez mio
como si yo no estuviera alli
y el solo siguio cantando
cantando claro y fuerte

rasgando mi dolor con sus dedos.............
