歌词与中文翻译
嗨 暗夜 我的老朋友
Hello darkness my old friend.
I've come to talk with you again.
我又来和你聊天啦
Because a vision softly creeping.
因为幻觉在悄悄地袭来
Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
在我的睡梦中埋下种子
And the vision that was planted in my brain.
脑海中的幻象生根发芽
Still remains.
仍在缠绕着
Within the sound of silence
在这寂静之声中
在辗转难眠的梦中我独自漫步
In restless dreams I walked alone.
在铺着鹅卵石的扬长小道上
Narrow streets of cobble stone.
在路灯昏黄的灯光下
'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
我把衣领立起来抵挡冰冷潮湿
I turned my collar to the cold & damp.
当闪烁的霓虹灯刺入我眼帘
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light.
撕裂了夜
That split the night.
然后触碰到了寂静之声
And touched the sound of silence.
在茫茫夜幕下 我看到
成千上万的人们
And in the naked light I saw.
人们说而不言
Ten thousand people maybe more.
人们听而不闻
People talking without speaking.
人们谱写无人吟唱的乐章
People hearing without listening.
但是无人敢
People writing songs that voices never share.
打破这寂静之声
And no one dare.
我说 愚蠢的人们啊 你们不知道
Disturb the sound of silence
寂静就像顽疾滋长
"Fool" said I "U do not know.
倾听我的言语我可以教诲你
"Silence like a cancer grows.
抬起我的臂膀我可以触到你
Hear my words that I might teach U.
但我的言语就像寂静雨点簌簌滑落
"Take my arms that I might reach U.
在这寂静之井中回荡
But my words like silent raindrops fell
人们叩首祈祷
向着他们创制的闪耀的神
And echoed in the wells of silence
神迹发出警示
它告诉人们
And the people bowed & prayed.
神迹说：预言家的话
To the neon God they made.
写在地下道的墙上和房屋的走廊
And the sign flash out its warning.
在这寂静之声中轻轻低吟
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets.
Are written on the subway walls tenement halls".
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
