I heard he sang a good song I heard he sang a good song Eu ouvi dizer que ele cantava muito bem I heard he had a style I heard he had a style Eu ouvi dizer que ele tinha um estilo And so I came to see him And so I came to see him E então eu vim vê-lo To listen for a while. To listen for a while. E ouvi-lo por um momento And there he was this young boy And there he was this young boy E lá estava ele este menino 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 Embarassed by the crowd, Embarassed by the crowd, embarassada pela multidão, I felt he found my letters I felt he found my letters Eu senti que ele encontrou minhas cartas And read each one out loud. And read each one out loud. 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. Killing me softly. Matando-me suavemente He sang as if he knew me He sang as if he knew me Ele cantava como se me conhecesse In all my dark despair In all my dark despair E meu profundo desespero And then he looked right through me And then he looked right through me Então ele olhou através de mim As if I wasn't there. As if I wasn't there. Como se eu não estivesse lá But he was there a stranger But he was there a stranger Mas ele estava la um estranho Singing clear and loud Singing clear and loud Cantando claro e alto 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...
