轻歌销魂 Killing¹ Me Softly With His Song

这首歌曲在一部叫作“About a boy”的电影里可以听到。电影里的男孩为了让整日忧忧郁寡的母亲快乐，于是决定参加学校里的音乐比赛，演唱母亲最喜爱的歌曲“Killing me softly with his song”。男孩在学校里是经常被同学们嘲弄的对象，且演唱也确不为他所擅长，因此，歌曲演唱得很糟糕。但这次糟糕的演唱却是一段很感人的情节。由于年代久远，这首歌不可避免地带上了留声机时代遗留下来的怀旧味道，但这种味道深情而并不陈旧。歌曲一遍遍重复着“killing me softly with his song”这句歌词的优美旋律，她是真的醉了，已经无力逃脱了，又更像是在自言自语，脑子里全是他的声音... ...

Killing Me Softly With His Song - Roberta Flack
73年全美流行单曲榜5周冠军曲
演唱：Roberta Flack
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
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.
I felt I 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.
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.
oh,oh..............
La, La, La...
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 ......
he was strumming my pain
yeah~,he was singing my life
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling me whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song.
