Traducción de la letra de la canción Killing Me Softly - Claire Hamilton

Killing Me Softly (original)

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 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, 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
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 as if he knew me in all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me as if I wasn’t there
And he just kept on singing, 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 my pain, yeah, he was singing my life
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
With his song

(traducción)

Rasgando mi dolor con sus dedos
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Contando mi vida entera con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Escuché que cantaba una buena canción, escuché que tenía un estilo
Y entonces vine a verlo para escuchar por un rato
Y allí estaba este joven, un extraño a mis ojos
Rasgando mi dolor con sus dedos
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Contando mi vida entera con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Me sentí todo enrojecido por la fiebre, avergonzado por la multitud.
Sentí que encontró mis cartas y leyó cada una en voz alta.
Recé para que terminara, pero siguió adelante.
Rasgando mi dolor con sus dedos
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Contando mi vida entera con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Cantó como si me conociera en toda mi oscura desesperación.
Y luego miró a través de mí como si yo no estuviera allí.
Y siguió cantando, cantando claro y fuerte
Rasgando mi dolor con sus dedos
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Contando mi vida entera con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Él estaba tocando mi dolor, sí, estaba cantando mi vida
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Matándome suavemente con su canción
Contando mi vida entera con sus palabras
Matándome suavemente con su canción
