Killing Me Softly
Omara Portuondo
Killing Me Softly
There are so many things she says
Her voice sings my story
Softly her rhythm kills me, those chords
I have seen all my life
Passing through her words, her emotion
I heard someone singing
A good song
He was a sweet boy
An angel, I said
What a style
What luck
I had to meet him
Touches my skin when she speaks
Waves of love words
Softly her rhythm kills me
And upon meeting her, nothing
Seemed strange
She made me feel passion again
Pieces of my life
His song narrated
Where does he know me from?
How strange, I thought
He sang my hope and a bit of my pain
Softly that singing kills me
That voice sustains my life
Softly this rhythm kills me
That look, smile changes my life
Singing with all his soul his song
Fears are left behind
All the loneliness
A new Sun floods
The whole city
I met her singing, her song enchanted me
An incredible emotion
Her voice sings my life
A song that is killing me
And awakens me, its rhythm, such sweet dormant dreams
New paths of my love
Lah, lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah
Lah, lah-lah, killing me softly, lah-lah-lah
Lah, lah-lah, killing me softly
Ooh
Touches my skin when she speaks
Waves of love words
Softly her rhythm kills me
And upon meeting you, nothing
Seemed strange
She made me feel passion again
