【老歌时光机】《Killing Me Softly With His Song》1996 + 1972 原版

 

《Killing Me Softly》是查尔斯•福克斯(Charles Fox)作曲，诺曼•金贝尔(Norman Gimbel)作词的歌曲。歌词是原唱洛里·利伯曼(Lori Lieberman)在1971年末受唐·麦克莱恩(Don McLean)表演的启发而与福克斯和金贝儿合作创作的，但利伯曼的合作创作被福克斯和金贝尔否认了。

 

原唱Lori Lieberman在1972年发行了这首歌，但没有上榜。这首歌后来被许多艺术家翻唱过。

1973年，Roberta Flank的soul版本成为在美国、澳大利亚和加拿大的热门单曲，并在英国单曲排行榜上排名第六。

1996年，Fugees和Lauryn Hill一起录制了这首歌，他们的hip hop版本成为20个国家的冠军单曲。

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 came to see him and 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 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.

 

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.

But he was that a stranger, 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.

 

Oh, La, oh, la

 

Strumming my pain with his fingers

singing 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.

 

Strumming my pain Yeah

singing 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.
