Strumming my pain with his fingers Strumming my pain with his fingers Dedilhando minha dor com seus dedos Singing my life with his words Singing my life with his words Cantando minha vida com suas palavras Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Matando-me lentamente com sua música Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Matando-me lentamente com sua música Telling my whole life with his words Telling my whole life with his words Contando minha vida inteira com suas palavras Killing me softly, with his song Killing me softly, with his song Matando-me lentamente com sua música. I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style Eu o ouvi cantar uma boa música, ouvi dizer que ele tinha um estilo. And so I came to see him, and listen for a while And so I came to see him, and listen for a while Então eu fui vê-lo, e ouvir um pouco. And there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes And there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes E lá está ele, este jovem garoto, um estranho para os meus olhos. (repeat chorus) (repeat chorus) (Repete Coro) I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd Senti-me tomada por um calor, envergonhada pela multidão; I felt he found my letters, and read each one out loud I felt he found my letters, and read each one out loud Senti como se ele tivesse encontrado minhas cartas, e lido cada uma em voz alta. I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on Eu roguei para que ele acabasse, mas ele apenas continuou. (rpt chorus) (rpt chorus) (Repete coro) He sang as if he knew me, and all my dark despair He sang as if he knew me, and all my dark despair Ele cantou como se me conhecesse, e todo o meu desespero obscuro; He kept on looking right through me as if I wasn't there He kept on looking right through me as if I wasn't there Ele continuou passando o olhar por mim como se eu não estivesse lá And then he kept on singing, singing clear and strong And then he kept on singing, singing clear and strong Então ele continuou cantando, cantando claro e forte. (repeat chorus till fade) (repeat chorus till fade) (repete coro até terminar)
