Killing Me Softly

Strumming my pain with his fingers
他用指尖拨动我心苦楚
Singing my life with his words
他用词曲吟唱我的一生

他用歌声将我温柔处死
Killing me softly with his song
他用歌声将我温柔处死
Killing me softly with his song
他用言语道尽我的一生
Telling my whole life with his words
他用歌声将我温柔处死

我听到他吟唱佳曲
Killing me softly with his song ...
我听到他风格迥异

我前去一睹其容，目中只见翩翩少年，如此陌生
I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style.
他用指尖拨动我心苦楚
And so I came to see him to listen for a while.
他用词曲吟唱我的一生

他用歌声将我温柔处死
And there he was this young boy a stranger to my eyes.
他用歌声将我温柔处死
Strumming my pain with his fingers
他用言语道尽我的一生
Singing my life with his words
他用歌声将我温柔处死

我脸颊潮红，羞怯于众
Killing me softly with his song
我听到他大声读出我信中的每字每句
Killing me softly with his song
我祈祷这一幕尽快结束，但他仍在继续
Telling my whole life with his words
他用指尖拨动我心苦楚
Killing me softly with his song ...
他用词曲吟唱我的一生
I felt all flushed with fever embarrassed by the crowd
他用歌声将我温柔处死

他用歌声将我温柔处死
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
他用言语道尽我的一生

他用歌声将我温柔处死
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on ...
他歌唱仿佛知晓我那无尽的绝望
Strumming my pain with his fingers
他洞悉我不仿佛无物
Singing my life with his words
他兀自吟唱，清晰而响亮

他用指尖拨动我心苦楚
Killing me softly with his song
他用词曲吟唱我的一生
Killing me softly with his song
他用歌声将我温柔处死
Telling my whole life with his words
他用歌声将我温柔处死

他用言语道尽我的一生
Killing me softly with his song ...
他用歌声将我温柔处死
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.
But he just came to 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 ...
