Killing Me Softly
ELYSANIJ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard he sang a good song
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
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

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

Overall Meaning

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.

@RandomFlavor

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..
