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 suavemente com sua canção Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Matando-me suavemente com sua canção 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 suavemente com sua canção I heard he sang a good song I heard he sang a good song Ouvi dizer que ele cantou uma música boa I heard he had a style I heard he had a style 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 E então eu vim para vê-lo e ouvir por um tempo And there he was this young boy And there he was this young boy E lá estava ele, este jovem rapaz A stranger to my eyes A stranger to my eyes Um estranho para meus olhos 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 suavemente com sua canção Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Matando-me suavemente com sua canção 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 suavemente com sua canção I felt all flushed with fever I felt all flushed with fever Eu me senti toda vermelha de febre Embarrassed by the crowd Embarrassed by the crowd 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 Eu senti que ele encontrou minhas cartas, e leu cada uma em voz alta I prayed that he would finish I prayed that he would finish Eu rezei para que ele acabasse But he just kept right on But he just kept right on Mas ele apenas continuou 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 suavemente com sua canção Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Matando-me suavemente com sua canção 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 suavemente com sua canção He sang as if he knew me He sang as if he knew me Ele cantou como se me conhecesse In all my dark despair In all my dark despair Em todo o meu desespero escuro And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there E então ele olhou através de mim como se eu não estivesse lá And he just kept on singing And he just kept on singing E ele não parava de cantar Singing clear and strong Singing clear and strong Cantando claro e forte 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 suavemente com sua canção Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Matando-me suavemente com sua canção 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 suavemente com sua canção!
