the fugees - killing me softly

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
[LAURYN]
One time, One time, (one time) hey yo L you know you got the lyrics
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, stranger to my eyes,
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
(one time,one time)
Singing my life with his words,
(two times. two times)
Killing me softly with this song,
killing me softly,
With his song, telling my whole life,
With his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters then read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish,
But he just kept right on-
Strumming my pain with his fingers, (One Time, one time!)
Singing my life with his words, (Two Times, two times!)
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly
With his song,
Tellin´ my whole life
With his words,
Killing me softly, with his song
[CLEF]
Yo L-Boogie, boy L boy L, take it to the bridge
[LAURYN]
(busted)
wooahhh......woooooahh.....la la la la la la ....wooooah.. laaaaahhh... woooah..laaaaahhh Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Ah
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
yes he was 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.

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I´m losing my best friend
I can´t believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you´re letting go
And if it´s real
Well I don´t want to know

Don´t speak
I know just what you´re saying
So please stop explaining
Don´t tell me cause it hurts
Don´t speak
I know what you´re thinking
I don´t need your reasons
Don´t tell me cause it hurts

Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

Don´t speak
I know just what you´re saying
So please stop explaining
Don´t tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don´t speak
I know what you´re thinking
I don´t need your reasons
Don´t tell me cause it hurts

It´s all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying...are we?

Don´t speak
I know just what you´re saying
So please stop explaining
Don´t tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don´t speak
I know what you´re thinking
I don´t need your reasons
Don´t tell me cause it hurts
Don´t tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you´re saying
So please stop explaining

Don´t speak,
don´t speak,
don´t speak,
oh I know what you´re thinking
And I don´t need your reasons
I know you´re good,
I know you´re good,
I know you´re real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don´t, Don´t, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin´
Hush, hush darlin´ Hush, hush
don´t tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin´ Hush, hush darlin´
Hush, hush don´t tell me tell me cause it hurts

Kdyby jsi byl deštěm jarního rána,při každičké bouřce já chodila
bych bosá a nahá.Kdybys byl sluníčkem na nebi
a svítil na mě každé ráno,
probouzela bych se s nadějí,
že jseš to ty a že to nebylo tak dávno.

Teď je všechno jinak,je to sotva pár dnů,
raději se schovávám do svých snů.Do těch, ve kterých jsi ty a já,tam, kde jsme společně,
kde jsme oba dva.

Vzpomínám, jak smála jsem se na Tebe a věděla, že žijeme jen pro sebe.
Mám křičet, plakat nebo řvát?Vždyť já se chci zase znovu smát!

Jen malinký kousek lásky mít,už nechci zase jenom snít...

V místech, kde spolu jsme chodívali,
já opět, bezděky volným krokem kráčím,
obloha modrá, slunce si září ze své nebeské dáli,
a prostranství, porostem svým travnatým,
pod palčivými paprsky vydává vzpomínkovou vůni.

Zvolna tak míjím obytné domy
a bohatou zelení rozsochaté stromy,
kde spočinout lze zahálkou sobě
ve chladivém stínu, jako ve vodní tůni,
na lavičkách pod rameny větví stulit se k tobě,
pod ochranou vzrostlých javorů a košatých lip,
posedět zase spolu, tak jako dřív.

Pocitem marnosti nitro je naplněno,
nevrátí se, jednou už prošlé,
to léto tak vzrušivě horoucí,
pavučinkami jemných vláken prorostlé,
bytosti spojeny touhou žádoucí,
kdy polibky tvé, svůj žár vroucně předávaly,
v mých hlubinách tvé doteky se utápěly
a ve tvých očích bylo srdce mé polapeno
