KILLING ME SOFTLY / THE FUGEES / NIVEL 2

Strumming my pain with his fingers

Rasgando mi dolor  

(como a las cuerdas de la guitarra)

con sus dedos

Singing my life with his words

Cantando mi vida con sus palabras

= contando mi vida con tus estrofas

Killing me softly with his song

Matándome lentamente con su canción

killing me softly

With his song telling my whole life

Con su canción narrando (toda) mi vida

With his words

Killing me softly

With his song

(chattering)

(conversación = charla)

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style

Escuche que tenia una buena canción,

escuche que tenia estilo

And so, I came to see him and listen for a while

Y así, que (decidí) venir a verlo y escucharlo por

un rato

And there he was this young boy, stranger to my eyes

Y allí estaba este joven, ajeno a mis ojos

= para mi un desconocido

Strumming my pain with his finger

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

Senti ruborizarme toda

Embarrassed by the crowd

Avergonzada ante la multitud = muchedumbre

I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud

Sentí que el había encontrado mis cartas y las

estuviese leyendo todas en voz alta

I prayed that he would finish

Recé para que ya terminara

But he just kept right on,

Pero tan sólo prosiguió

= continuo

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 fingers (yes, he was)

...(sí, era él)

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...
