Strumming my pain with his fingers
– My pyn met sy vingers
Singing my life with his words
– Sing my lewe met sy woorde
Killing me softly with his song
– Doodmaak my saggies met sy liedjie
Killing me softly with his song
– Doodmaak my saggies met sy liedjie
Telling my whole life with his words
– Vertel my hele lewe met sy woorde
Killing me softly with his song
– Doodmaak my saggies met sy liedjie
I heard he sang a good song
– Ek het gehoor hy sing’n goeie liedjie
I heard he had a style

And so I came to see him
– En so het ek gekom om hom te sien
To listen for a while
– Om’n rukkie te luister
And there he was this young boy
– En daar was hy hierdie jong seun
A stranger to my eyes
– ‘n vreemdeling vir my oë
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– My pyn met sy vingers
Singing my life with his words
– Sing my lewe met sy woorde
Killing me softly with his song
– Doodmaak my saggies met sy liedjie
Killing me softly with his song

– Doodmaak my saggies met sy liedjie
I felt all flushed with fever
– Ek het vol koors gevoel
Embarrassed by the crowd
– Verleë deur die skare
I felt he found my letters
– Ek het gevoel hy het my briewe gevind
And read each one out loud
– En lees elkeen hardop
I prayed that he would finish
– Ek het gebid dat hy sou eindig
But he just kept right on
– Maar hy het net aangehou
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– My pyn met sy vingers
Singing my life with his words
– Sing my lewe met sy woorde
Killing me softly with his song
– Doodmaak my saggies met sy liedjie
Killing me softly with his song
– Doodmaak my saggies met sy liedjie
Telling my whole life with his words
– Vertel my hele lewe met sy woorde
Killing me softly with his song
– Doodmaak my saggies met sy liedjie
He sang as if he knew me
– Hy het gesing asof hy my geken het
In all my dark despair
– In al my donker wanhoop
And then he looked right through me
– En toe kyk hy reg deur my
As if I wasn’t there
– Asof ek nie daar was nie
And he just kept on singing
– En hy het net aanhou sing
Singing clear and strong
– Sing helder en sterk
Strumming my pain with his fingers
– My pyn met sy vingers
Singing my life with his words
– Sing my lewe met sy woorde
Killing me softly with his song
– Doodmaak my saggies met sy liedjie
Killing me softly with his song
– Doodmaak my saggies met sy liedjie
Telling my whole life with his words
– Vertel my hele lewe met sy woorde
Killing me softly with his song
– Doodmaak my saggies met sy liedjie
Oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
– O-o-o, o-o, o-o
La-la-la, la-la
– La-la-la, la-la
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
– O-o-o, o, o-o
La, ah-ah, ah
– La, ah-ah, ah
La, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
