Lyrics
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Strumming doulè mwen ak dwèt li
Singing my life with his words
– Chante lavi m ak pawòl li yo
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
Telling my whole life with his words
– Di tout lavi m ak pawòl li yo
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
I heard he sang a good song
– Mwen tande li te chante yon bon chante
I heard he had a style
– Mwen tande li te gen yon style
And so I came to see him
– Se konsa mwen te vin wè l
To listen for a while
– Pou koute pou yon ti tan
And there he was this young boy
– Epi li te la ti gason sa a
A stranger to my eyes
– Yon etranje pou je m
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Strumming doulè mwen ak dwèt li
Singing my life with his words
– Chante lavi m ak pawòl li yo
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
Telling my whole life with his words
– Di tout lavi m ak pawòl li yo
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
I felt all flushed with fever
– Mwen te santi tout wouj ak lafyèv
Embarrassed by the crowd
– Foul moun yo te wont
I felt he found my letters
– Mwen te santi li te jwenn lèt mwen yo
And read each one out loud
– Epi li chak youn byen fò
I prayed that he would finish
– Mwen te priye pou l fini
But he just kept right on
– Men li te jis kenbe dwa sou
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Strumming doulè mwen ak dwèt li
Singing my life with his words
– Chante lavi m ak pawòl li yo
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
Telling my whole life with his words
– Di tout lavi m ak pawòl li yo
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
He sang as if he knew me
– Li te chante tankou si li te konnen m
In all my dark despair
– Nan tout dezespwa nwa mwen
And then he looked right through me
– Apre sa li te gade dwat nan mwen
As if I wasn’t there
– Kòm si mwen pa t la
And he just kept on singing
– Epi li te kontinye chante
Singing clear and strong
– Chante klè ak fò
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Strumming doulè mwen ak dwèt li
Singing my life with his words
– Chante lavi m ak pawòl li yo
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
Telling my whole life with his words
– Di tout lavi m ak pawòl li yo
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
Oh, oh-oh
– Oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
– Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
La-la-la, la-la
– La-la-la, la-la
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
– Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
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
– Strumming doulè mwen ak dwèt li
Singing my life with his words
– Chante lavi m ak pawòl li yo
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
Telling my whole life with his words
– Di tout lavi m ak pawòl li yo
Killing me (Softly)
– Touye m (Santi)
He was strumming my pain
– Li te ap bat doulè m
Yeah, he was singing my life
– Wi, li te chante lavi m
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
Killing me softly with his song
– Touye m dousman ak chante l
Telling my whole life with his words
– Di tout lavi m ak pawòl li yo
Killing me softly
– Touye m tou dousman
With his song
– Ak chante li
