CORO: Strumming my pain with his fingers

estromin mai pein wiz jis finguers

Singing my life with his words

singuin mai laif wiz jis uords

Killing me softly with his song

kilin mi softli wiz jis song (x2)

Telling my whole life with his words

telin mai joul laif wiz jis words

Killing me softly with his song

kilin mi softli wiz jis song...

I heard he sang a good song,

ai jerd ji sang a gud song

I heard he had a style,

ai jerd ji jad a estail

And so I came to see him and listen for a while

end sou ai keim tu si jim end lissen for a uail

And there he was this young boy

end der ji uas dis yonng boai

Stranger to my eyes
estrenyer tu mai ais

Chorus: CORO

I felt all flushed with fever

ai felt ol floshd wiz fiver

Embarrased by the crowd,

embarrasd bai de craud

I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud,

ai felt ji faund mai lerers and rid ich uan aut laud

I pray that he would finish

ai preid dat ji ued fenesh
But he just kept right on
bet ji yest kept rair-on

CORO
