Oba:
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 song
Killing me softly with his song
Ona:
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him and listen for a while
And there he was this young bwoy
Stranger to my eyes
Oba:
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 song
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Papaparapapaparapapapapapa...
On:
One more one
Oba:
Papaparapapaparapapapapapa...
