73年全美流行單曲榜5周冠軍曲
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.
參考譯文
輕歌銷魂
用手指彈奏出我的苦楚，
用歌詞唱出我的生活，
用輕歌他銷我的魂，
用輕歌他銷我的魂，
用歌詞唱說我整個壹生，
用輕歌他銷我的魂。
聽他唱了壹首好歌，
聽他有壹種風格，
於是我來看他，
要聽他唱會兒歌。
他就在那兒，這少年
我壹點也不認識。
用手指彈奏出我的苦楚，
用歌詞唱出我的生活，
用輕歌他銷我的魂，
用輕歌他銷我的魂，
用歌詞唱說我整個壹生，
用輕歌他銷我的魂。
我感到我滿臉羞紅，
在人群前窘迫。
感到他發現了我的信，
大聲地朗讀每壹封，
但願他快停止，
但他壹直往下讀。
用手彈奏出我的苦楚，
用歌詞唱出我的生活，
用輕歌他銷我的魂，
用輕歌他銷我的魂，
用歌詞唱說我整個壹生，
用輕歌他銷我的魂。
他唱得仿佛他認識我，
知道我所有絕望，
之後他看透我的心，
又仿佛我不存在。
他只是不停地唱，
唱得清晰而激昂。
用手指彈奏出我的苦楚，
用歌詞唱出我的生活，
用輕歌他銷我的魂，
用輕歌他銷我的魂，
用歌詞唱說我整個壹生，
用輕歌他銷我的魂。
他在彈奏出我的苦痛，
他在唱說我的生活，
啦，啦，啦……
用輕歌他銷我的魂。
用手指彈奏出我的苦痛，
用歌詞唱出我的生活，
用輕歌他銷我的魂，
用輕歌他銷我的魂，
用歌詞唱說我整個壹生，
用輕歌他銷我的魂。
