歌词
Hello darkness my old friend
你好啊，我亲爱的老朋友
I've come to talk with you again
我又来此与你促膝长谈
Because a vision softly creeping
因为有一种幻境正悄悄蔓延
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
趁我熟睡时播下了它的种子
And the vision that was planted in my brain
现如今它已在我脑海里根深蒂固
Still remains
久久不会逝去了
Within the sound of silence
在这寂静无声的时刻
In restless dreams I walked alone
我独自穿梭于惶恐的梦境中
Narrow streets of cobblestone
步行在狭窄的鹅卵石子街道上
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
接受街边暗灯光晕的沐浴
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
我竖起衣领以抵御寒冷和潮湿
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
而当我的双眸被霓虹灯光所刺痛
That split the night
黑色夜空仿佛被撕裂
And touched the sound of silence
从而划破了寂静之声
And in the naked light I saw
在那赤诚的夜晚，我看见
Ten thousand people maybe more
数以万计的人们，或许更多
People talking without speaking
他们有口难言话不从心
People hearing without listening
在沉默中却已然了解他人意愿
People writing songs that voices never share
他们谱写着无法分享的歌儿
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence
因为无人拥有打破寂静之声的勇气
"Fools" said I "You do not know"
“傻瓜”，我说到，“你一无所知”
"Silence like a cancer grows"
“寂静如同恶疾般滋长蔓延”
"Hear my words that I might teach you"
“听我劝言便还有可授的机会”
"Take my arms that I might reach you"
“携我肩膀便还有拯救的希望”
But my words like silent raindrops fell
但我的言语，就如同雨点无声落地
And echoed in the wells of silence
而回声只是回荡在这寂静之井中
And the people bowed and prayed
人们就地俯伏祷告
To the neon god they made
向着他们所创造的霓虹之神
And the sign flashed out its warning
告诫之光闪烁于不同展牌
In the words that it was forming
最终拼凑成一行文字
And the sign said
上面写道
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
“先知之语早已显现于地铁的墙上
and tenement halls"
和屋宇的大厅中央”
"And whispered in the sound of silence"
“还有那寂静之中的轻声呢喃里”
