Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Strumpfend mat senge Fangeren op meng Péng
Singing my life with his words
– Sangen mäi liewen mat senge Wierder
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
Telling my whole life with his words
– Mäi ganzt liewen mat senge Wierder erzielen
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
I heard he sang a good song
– Ech hunn héieren, hien huet e gutt Lidd gesongen
I heard he had a style
– Ech héieren hien hat E Stil
And so I came to see him
– An dofir sinn ech bei hien komm
To listen for a while
– Eng Zäitchen lauschteren
And there he was this young boy
– An do war hien, dëse jong
A stranger to my eyes
– E Friemen a mengen Aen
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Strumpfend mat senge Fangeren op meng Péng
Singing my life with his words
– Sangen mäi liewen mat senge Wierder
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
Telling my whole life with his words
– Mäi ganzt liewen mat senge Wierder erzielen
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
I felt all flushed with fever
– Ech hu mech ganz vu Féiwer gespullt
Embarrassed by the crowd
– Peinlech beréiert vum Publikum
I felt he found my letters
– Ech Hu Gemengt wéi hie meng Bréiwer fonnt huet
And read each one out loud
– A liest all haart vir
I prayed that he would finish
– Ech hu gebiet datt hie géif këmmeren
But he just kept right on
– Awer hien huet just weidergefouert
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Strumpfend mat senge Fangeren op meng Péng
Singing my life with his words
– Sangen mäi liewen mat senge Wierder
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
Telling my whole life with his words
– Mäi ganzt liewen mat senge Wierder erzielen
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
He sang as if he knew me
– Hien huet gesongen wéi hie mech kannt
In all my dark despair
– An all menger donkeler Verzweiflung
And then he looked right through me
– An dunn huet hien direkt duerch mech gekuckt
As if I wasn’t there
– Wéi wann ech net do wier
And he just kept on singing
– An hien huet just weider gesongen
Singing clear and strong
– Sangen kloer a kräfteg
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Strumpfend mat senge Fangeren op meng Péng
Singing my life with his words
– Sangen mäi liewen mat senge Wierder
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
Telling my whole life with his words
– Mäi ganzt liewen mat senge Wierder erzielen
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
Oh, 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.
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
– Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
La, ah-ah, ah
– Ech sin also an daat gebai gaangen.
La, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
– Ah,ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Strumpfend mat senge Fangeren op meng Péng
Singing my life with his words
– Sangen mäi liewen mat senge Wierder
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
Telling my whole life with his words
– Mäi ganzt liewen mat senge Wierder erzielen
Killing me (Softly)
– Kill mech (Roueg)
He was strumming my pain
– Hie stéisst op meng Péng
Yeah, he was singing my life
– Jo, hien huet mäi Liewen gesongen
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
Killing me softly with his song
– Killing me softly mat sengem Lidd
Telling my whole life with his words
– Mäi ganzt liewen mat senge Wierder erzielen
Killing me softly
– Kill mech roueg
With his song
– Mat sengem Song
