Lyrics:

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, a stranger to my eyes.

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
(one time, one time)
singing my life with his words,
(two time, two time)
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,
(one time, one time)
singing my life with his words,
(two time, two time)
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 fingers,
(yes he was)
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



TRAD



Ucigându-ma cu blândete

Am auzit ca el cânta un cântec frumos, am auzit ca el are un stil,
Si astfel am venit sa-l vad si sa-l ascult pentru o vreme.
Si acolo era baiatul asta tânar, un strain pentru mine.

Cântându-mi durerea cu degetele lui,
(o data, o data)
Cântându-mi viata cu vorbele lui,
(de doua ori, de doua ori)
Ucigându-ma cu blândete cu al sau cântec,
Ucigându-ma cu blândete cu al sau cântec,
Spunându-mi întreaga viata cu vorbele lui,
Ucigându-ma cu blândete cu al sau cântec.

Am simtit ca ma cuprinde febra, rusinata de multimea de oameni
Am simtit ca mi-a descoperit literele si ca le-a citit tare pe fiecare.
M-am rugat ca el sa termine, dar el cântat mai departe.

Cântându-mi durerea cu degetele lui,
(o data, o data)
Cântându-mi viata cu vorbele lui,
(de doua ori, de doua ori)
Ucigându-ma cu blândete cu al sau cântec,
Ucigându-ma cu blândete cu al sau cântec,
Spunându-mi întreaga viata cu vorbele lui,
Ucigându-ma cu blândete cu al sau cântec.

Cântându-mi durerea cu degetele lui,
(o data, o data)
Cântându-mi viata cu vorbele lui,
(de doua ori, de doua ori)
Ucigându-ma cu blândete cu al sau cântec,
Ucigându-ma cu blândete cu al sau cântec,
Spunându-mi întreaga viata cu vorbele lui,
Ucigându-ma cu blândete cu al sau cântec
