By Roberta Flack
Chorus:
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softy 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 came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes... Chorus
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on... Chorus
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... Chorus
oohhh oohhh... lalala... oohhh laaa
Chorus
He was strumming my pain
Yeah he was seing my life
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
Chorus:
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softy 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 came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes... Chorus
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on... Chorus
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... Chorus
oohhh oohhh... lalala... oohhh laaa
Chorus
He was strumming my pain
Yeah he was seing my life
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

Sigue tan válida como siempre, ¿verdad? Un abrazo

Hola Io: también me gusta la foto que he encontrado, tiene casi tanta fuerza como su voz. Mil besos!!!
Hola Elvira, leí tu entrada antes de sentarme a comer y desde ese momento esta canción suena en mi cabeza.
Que sepas que en el establo la poda de árboles de este año ha estado acompañada por la voz de Roberta.
Un beso de árbol agradecido.
Ay, ¡qué curioso! A ver si este año crecen mejor... Si la música va bien para los humanos y los animales, ¿por qué no para las plantas?
Yo soy de las que hablan a las plantas, pero hasta ahora nunca les he cantado. :-)
Un abrazo (a ti y a tus árboles)
