Killing Me Softly With His Song ─ 藏愁

歌如思念，皆能殺人......

Killing Me Softly With His Song，一首很棒的英文老歌。紓緩的節奏裡像是包藏著淡淡的情愁，我認為很適合在深夜裡聆聽。

I heard he sang a good song.
I heard he had a style.
And so I come 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.

我聽見他唱著憂傷的歌

歌聲裡有著獨特

驅使我跨步前行

多聽一會兒

眼前的他是個青年

是一位陌生

指間撥動著我的哀傷

歌詞將我的生命吟唱

他的歌讓我柔腸寸斷

我的生活在他的歌詞裡重現

他的歌讓我柔腸寸斷

I felt I flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd.
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud.
I loved 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.

我察覺自己興奮的顫動

在人群中感到困窘

認為他發現了我的信件

又將每一封讀得大聲

我希望他可以停下

他卻是持續發聲

指間撥動著我的哀傷

歌詞將我的生命吟唱

他的歌讓我柔腸寸斷

我的生活在他的歌詞裡重現

他的歌讓我柔腸寸斷

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.
And he just kept on singing,
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.

他唱得像是與我熟識
洞穿我深藏的黑暗絕望
