Killing Me Softly

Strumming dub plates with our fingers,
Eliminate sounds with our song,
Killing a sound boy with this sound,
Killing a sound boy with this sound,
Taking sound boys lives with this dub,
Killing him softly with this sound.
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.
[lauryn]
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, 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
[clef]
Yo l-boogie, take it to the bridge
[lauryn]
(bust it)
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.
Strumming my pain with his finger, yeah he was . . .

Matándome suavemente

Rasgando placas con nuestros dedos
Eliminar sonidos de nuestra canción
Matando a un niño de sonido con este sonido
Matando a un niño de sonido con este sonido
Tomando vidas de niños de sonido con este apodo
Matándolo suavemente con este sonido
Rasgando mi dolor con sus dedos,
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome lentamente con su canción,
Matándome lentamente con su canción,
Diciendo mi vida entera con sus palabras,
Matándome lentamente con su canción
[lauryn]
Le escuché cantar una buena canción, escuché que tenía estilo
entonces, vine a verlo y escucharlo por un rato.
Y ahí estaba este jovencito, un extraño ante mis ojos
Rasgando mi dolor con sus dedos,
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome lentamente con su canción,
Matándome lentamente con su canción,
Diciendo mi vida entera con sus palabras,
Matándome lentamente con su canción
Me sentí enardecida con fiebre,
Avergonzada con la multitud
Sentí como si hubiera encontrado mis cartas y leyó cada una en voz alta.
Rezaba porque terminara
Pero simplemente siguió rasgando mi dolor con sus dedos
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome lentamente con su canción,
Matándome lentamente con su canción,
Diciendo mi vida entera con sus palabras,
Matándome lentamente con su canción
[clef]
Yo l-boogie, llévalo al puente
[lauryn]
(Rómpelo)
Rasgando mi dolor con sus dedos,
Cantando mi vida con sus palabras
Matándome lentamente con su canción,
Matándome lentamente con su canción,
Diciendo mi vida entera con sus palabras,
Matándome lentamente con su canción
Rasgando mi dolor con sus dedos, sí él estaba...
