歌词
Hello darkness, my old friend
嘿，黑暗，我的老朋友
I've come to talk with you again
我想和你谈谈，像以前那样
Because a vision softly creeping
因为奇异的景象曾悄声潜行
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
在我酣眠时留下种子
And the vision that was planted in my brain
那在我脑海中扎根的一幕
Still remains
至今仍向我奏起
Within the sound of silence
静默之声
In restless dreams I walked alone
在无尽的梦中，我踽踽独行
Narrow streets of cobblestone
小巷逼仄，鹅卵石路面
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
在街灯的光晕中闪烁
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
我竖起衣领，走向湿冷的夜
When my eyes were stabbed by
霓灯如刀尖
The flash of a neon light
刺痛我的双眼
That split the night
它也像这样切开夜晚
And touched the sound of silence
溶入静默之声
And in the naked light I saw
在苍白的光中，我看到
Ten thousand people, maybe more
人们聚在一起
People talking without speaking
熙熙攘攘，你来我往
People hearing without listening
却心门紧锁，相视无言
People writing songs that voices never share
人们写歌，失落了声音
And no one dared
失落了喉咙
Disturb the sound of silence
失落啊，静默之声
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
我说：“傻瓜，你知不知道
Silence like a cancer grows
沉默会如致命的疾病般滋长
Hear my words that I might teach you
记住我要教导你的话
Take my arms that I might reach you"
挽住我伸向你的臂膀”
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
但这些话散落，如无声的雨滴
And echoed in the wells of silence
在静默的深井中回响
And the people bowed and prayed
人们一个个卑躬屈膝
To the neon god they made
向他们的霓虹上帝祷告
And the sign flashed out its warning
霓灯明灭间
In the words that it was forming
所谓神启，已昭然若揭
And the sign said
那灯光说道：
"The words of the prophets are “
先知的预言
Written on the subway walls
已经掠过地下甬道的墙面，
And tenement halls
已经潜入公寓的前厅，
And whispered in the sound of silence.
已经装进静默之声的口袋。”
