Matándome suavemente [English translation]

Play me a waltz with your fingers

paint in blue my song,

kill me so softly with your words

brushing so softly against

my lips 'til I lose myself, kill me.

I saw him while he was singing

at the back of the room

feeling all of a sudden

in my soul a great fear

he narrated with tunes

my whole life in his song.

I felt short of breath

searching for the reason,

I feared he had found

my drawer of letters,

reading them loud and clear,

naked before his song.

He sang as if insinuating

he knew who I was,

he looked as if he was searching

and didn't notice me,

shining with the lights

he continued with his song.

Play me a waltz with your fingers

paint in blue my song,

kill me so softly with your words

brushing so softly against

my lips 'til I lose myself, kill me.
