Strumming my pain with his fingers
– Rasgando mi dolor cu su dede
Singing my life with his words
– Kanta mi bida ku su palabranan
Killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song
– Mi a tende ku el a kanta un bon kantika
I heard he had a style

And so I came to see him
– I despues mi a bin wak é
To listen for a while

I felt all flushed with fever
– Mi a sinti mi kòrá pa e fiebre.
Embarrassed by the crowd
– Vergonzoso di e multitut
I felt he found my letters
– Mi a sinti ku mi a haña mi kartanan
And read each one out loud
– I lesa kada un na bos haltu
I prayed that he would finish
– Mi a resa pa e kaba
But he just kept right on
– Pero e simplemente a sigui

He sang as if he knew me
– E tabata kanta manera si e konosé mi
In all my dark despair
– Den tur mi desespero skur
And then he looked right through me
– I despues el a wak dor di mi
As if I wasn’t there
– Manera si mi no tabata aya
And he just kept on singing
