Killing Me Softly
ELYSANIJ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard he had a style
And so I came 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
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
Be-be-be, bésame, bésame con tus palabras
Y sólo dime que me amas
Tócame un vals con tus dedos
Desaparece mis miedos
Yo quiero irme contigo
O que tú te vengas conmigo
Hazme tuya para siempre
Que ya mis gemidos se sienten
Uh-sha la la ah, oh, ah, ah, ah
Strumming my pain with his fingers, uh
Y lléname de tu amor
Mátame muy suavemente
Con tus palabras
Rozando muy lentamente
Mis labios hasta perderme
Mátame
Oh, laralala, oh, oh, ah
Elysanij ′La Dulce Melodía'
Uh-sha la la ah, oh, ah, ah, ah
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Y lléname de tu amor
Mátame muy suavemente
Con tus palabras
Rozando muy lentamente
Mis labios hasta perderme
Mátame
The lyrics of Elysianij's "Killing Me Softly" describes the experience of seeing a talented musician perform live. The singer had heard about the musician's style and came to witness it, only to be captivated by his music. The musician, referred to as a "young boy" might have been an unknown artist at the time of the performance. The lyrics then describe just how much the music affected the singer by saying "strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words, killing me softly with his song, telling my whole life with his words". The music resonated with the singer's emotions, capturing her life experiences with each melody and lyric. The end of the song then changes to another language and refers to the power of words to express love and overcome fears, making the case that music can be so powerful that it can even kill pain.

I heard he sang a good song
I heard he was talented and skilled in his music
I heard he had a style
I heard he had his own unique way of performing and expressing himself
And so I came to see him
And so I went to watch him perform
To listen for a while
To hear his music for a short period of time
And there he was this young boy
And there he was, a youthful stranger to me
A stranger to my eyes
Someone I didn't know or recognize
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Playing the notes that express the emotions that I feel
Singing my life with his words
Singing the story of my life, the things I've been through and the emotions I've felt
Killing me softly with his song
Overwhelming me with powerful emotions through his music
Telling my whole life with his words
Revealing the entirety of my life story through his lyrics

I just got hip to this young talented lady. She sings this classic just as good as "Lauren Hill" of the "Fugees" did back in the 90's. This young lady can be bigger than "Karol G."

Esta chica es una maravilla, combina todo: Voz, talento, juventud, modernidad... 👏👏.. A mis 41 años volví a sentir "maripositas en el estómago" al escuchar esta versión..
