*Strumming my pain with his fingers 他用手指輕撫我的傷痛
Singing my life with his words 歌詞唱出了我的人生
Killing me softly with his song 他的歌溫柔得迷死人
Killing me softly with his song 他的歌溫柔得迷死人
Telling my whole life with his words 歌詞道盡了我的一生
Killing me softly with his song 他的歌溫柔得迷死人

I heard he sang a good song 我聽說他歌唱得很好
I heard he had a style 極具個人風格
And so I came to see him 於是我特地前來
To listen for a while 欣賞他的演唱
And there he was, this young boy 他出現了，這位年輕男孩
A stranger to my eyes(*) 我眼中的陌生人

I felt all flushed with fever 我感到臉紅，全身發燙
Embarrassed by the crowd 在群眾面前覺得不好意思
I felt he found my letters 他看到了我寫的紙條
And read each one out loud 大聲的讀著每一個字
I prayed that he would finish 我祈禱著他能趕快唸完
But he just kept right on(*) 但他卻一直唸著

He sang as if he knew me 他唱著，彷彿早就認識我
In all my dark despair 在我最陰暗沮喪的時候
And then he looked right through me 然後，他看向我這邊來
As if I wasn't there 好像我不存在似的
And he just kept on singing 他繼續唱著
Singing clear and strong(*) 清晰而有力的唱著
