Killing Me Softly With His Song - Roberta Flack
73年全美流行单曲榜5周冠军曲
演唱：Roberta Flack
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
I heard he sang a good song.
I heard he had a style.
And so I come to see him
To listen for a while.
And there he was, this young boy
A stranger to my eyes.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
I felt I flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd.
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud.
I loved that he would finish.
But he just kept right on.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
He sang as if he knew me,
In all my dark despair.
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn‘t there.
And he just kept on singing,
Singing clear and strong.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words.
Killing me softly with his song.
He was strumming my pain,
He‘s singing my life,
La, La, La...
Killing me softly with his song.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.

轻歌销魂
用手指弹奏出我的苦楚，
用歌词唱出我的生活，
用轻歌他销我的魂，
用轻歌他销我的魂，
用歌词唱说我整个一生，
用轻歌他销我的魂。
听他唱了一首好歌，
听他有一种风格，
于是我来看他，
要听他唱会儿歌。
他就在那儿，这少年
我一点也不认识。
用手指弹奏出我的苦楚，
用歌词唱出我的生活，
用轻歌他销我的魂，
用轻歌他销我的魂，
用歌词唱说我整个一生，
用轻歌他销我的魂。
我感到我满脸羞红，
在人群前窘迫。
感到他发现了我的信，
大声地朗读每一封，
但愿他快停止，
但他一直往下读。
用手弹奏出我的苦楚，
用歌词唱出我的生活，
用轻歌他销我的魂，
用轻歌他销我的魂，
用歌词唱说我整个一生，
用轻歌他销我的魂。
他唱得仿佛他认识我，
知道我所有绝望，
之后他看透我的心，
又仿佛我不存在。
他只是不停地唱，
唱得清晰而激昂。
用手指弹奏出我的苦楚，
用歌词唱出我的生活，
用轻歌他销我的魂，
用轻歌他销我的魂，
用歌词唱说我整个一生，
用轻歌他销我的魂。
他在弹奏出我的苦痛，
他在唱说我的生活，
啦，啦，啦……
用轻歌他销我的魂。
用手指弹奏出我的苦痛，
用歌词唱出我的生活，
用轻歌他销我的魂，
用轻歌他销我的魂，
用歌词唱说我整个一生，
用轻歌他销我的魂。
