Killing Me Softly
 [bad word] 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.
 [bad word] 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 ...
 [bad word] 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.
But he just came to singing, singing clear and strong.
 [bad word] 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 [bad word]  oh, he was singing my song.
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 ...

Killing me softly
 
Убивая меня нежно

I heard she sang a good song,
I heard she had a style.
And so I came to see her
And listen for a while.
And there she was this young girl,
stranger to my eyes.
 [bad word] my pain with her fingers,
Singing my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly with her song,
Telling my whole life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song

I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt she found my letters
And read each one out loud.
I prayed that she would finish
But she just kept right on.
 [bad word] my pain with her fingers,
Singing my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly with her song,
Telling my whole life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song

She sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then she looked right through me
As if I wasn't there.
But she just came to singing,
Singing clear and strong.
 [bad word] my pain with her fingers,
Singing my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly with her song,
Telling my whole life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song
 

Я слышал, как она поет,
Мне понравился ее стиль.
Я подошел посмотреть
И послушать немного.
Я увидел молодую девушку,
Которая смотрела на меня.

Она разбередила мои раны,
Пела о моей жизни,
Нежно убивая меня своей песней,
Нежно убивая меня своей песней,
Пересказывая всю мою жизнь,
Нежно убивая меня своей песней

Я был пронизал страхом,
Я был смущен толпой,
Казалось, что она нашла мои письма
И прочла их вслух.
Я надеялся, что она перестанет,
Но она продолжала петь...

Она разбередила мои раны,
Пела о моей жизни,
Нежно убивая меня своей песней,
Нежно убивая меня своей песней,
Пересказывая всю мою жизнь,
Нежно убивая меня своей песней

Она пела, как будто знала меня,
В моем отчаянии,
Потом она посмотрела сквозь меня,
Словно меня не существовало.
И продолжала петь,
Так красиво и сильно...

Она разбередила мои раны,
Пела о моей жизни,
Нежно убивая меня своей песней,
Нежно убивая меня своей песней,
Пересказывая всю мою жизнь,
Нежно убивая меня своей песней
