Killing Me Softly With His Song
Pitingo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoy, que alguien cantaba una buena canción
una muchacha dulce, un angel dije yo
que estilo aquel que suerte
pude reconocerme

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

Y atrás quedan temores
solo la soledad
de donde me conoce
que extraño pense yo
que estilo aquel que suerte
pude reconocerla

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

Pedazo de mi vida
narraba esta canción
de donde me conoce
que extraño pense yo
que estilo aquel que suerte
pude reconocerme

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

Pitingo fue un adelantado para la época, y este temazo sigue sonando igual de bien que hace tiempo ❤

A seuvella

Un figura en el canto, sin pelos en la lengua y que defiende la vida y llama a las cosas por su nombre, ojala hubiese más valientes como él en el mundo de la música...

Marisa Arias Lopez

Desde luego que si.
