Lyrisk
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Klimprer min smerte med fingrene
Singing my life with his words
– Syng mit liv med hans ord
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
Telling my whole life with his words
– Fortæller hele mit liv med hans ord
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
I heard he sang a good song
– Jeg hørte, at han sang en god sang
I heard he had a style
– Jeg hørte, at han havde en stil
And so I came to see him
– Og så kom jeg for at se ham
To listen for a while
– At lytte et stykke tid
And there he was this young boy
– Og der var han denne unge dreng
A stranger to my eyes
– En fremmed for mine øjne
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Klimprer min smerte med fingrene
Singing my life with his words
– Syng mit liv med hans ord
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
Telling my whole life with his words
– Fortæller hele mit liv med hans ord
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
I felt all flushed with fever
– Jeg følte alle skyllet med feber
Embarrassed by the crowd
– Flov over mængden
I felt he found my letters
– Jeg følte, at han fandt mine breve
And read each one out loud
– Og læse hver enkelt højt
I prayed that he would finish
– Jeg bad om, at han ville afslutte
But he just kept right on
– Men han holdt bare lige på
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Klimprer min smerte med fingrene
Singing my life with his words
– Syng mit liv med hans ord
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
Telling my whole life with his words
– Fortæller hele mit liv med hans ord
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
He sang as if he knew me
– Han sang som om han kendte mig
In all my dark despair
– I al min mørke fortvivlelse
And then he looked right through me
– Og så kiggede han lige igennem mig
As if I wasn’t there
– Som om jeg ikke var der
And he just kept on singing
– Og han fortsatte bare med at synge
Singing clear and strong
– Synger klart og stærkt
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Klimprer min smerte med fingrene
Singing my life with his words
– Syng mit liv med hans ord
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
Telling my whole life with his words
– Fortæller hele mit liv med hans ord
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
Oh, oh-oh
– Åh, åh-åh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
– Åh-åh-åh, åh-åh, åh-åh
La-la-la, la-la
– La-la-la, la-la
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
– Åh-åh-åh, åh, åh-åh
La, ah-ah, ah
– La, ah-ah, ah
La, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
– La, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Klimprer min smerte med fingrene
Singing my life with his words
– Syng mit liv med hans ord
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
Telling my whole life with his words
– Fortæller hele mit liv med hans ord
Killing me (Softly)
– Dræber mig (blødt)
He was strumming my pain
– Han klimprede min smerte
Yeah, he was singing my life
– Ja, han sang mit liv
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
Killing me softly with his song
– Dræber mig blødt med sin sang
Telling my whole life with his words
– Fortæller hele mit liv med hans ord
Killing me softly
– Dræber mig blødt
With his song
– Med sin sang
