歌词
Hello darkness, my old friend,
你好，黑暗，我的老朋友
I've come to talk with you again,
我又来和你聊一聊了
Because a vision softly creeping,
因为有个影子悄悄潜入
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
趁我熟睡埋下它的种子
And the vision that was planted in my brain
这影子根植于我的大脑里
Still remains，
至今还在
Within the sound of silence.
在这寂静之声
In restless dreams I walk alone，
在不安的梦境中我独自游荡
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
铺满鹅卵石的街道狭窄幽长
Neath the halo of a street lamp,
在一盏街灯的光晕下
I turned my collar to the cold and damp，
我竖起衣领抵御寒冷潮湿
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light，
就在我的眼睛被一盏霓虹灯的闪光刺穿时
That split the night，
光芒划破了夜空
And touched the sound of silence.
打破了这份寂静
And in the naked light I saw，
在孱弱的烛光中我看到
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
成千上万的人们，或许更多
People talking without speaking,
人们缄默却倾诉心声
People hearing without listening,
人们置若罔闻却声声贯耳
People writing songs that voices never share，
人们写歌却从不分享声音
And no one dared
没人敢
Disturb the sound of silence.
打扰这寂静之声
"Fools" said I,"You do not know
“傻瓜”我说，“你见识浅薄，
Silence like a cancer grows.
寂静会像癌细胞一样增长”
Hear my words that I might teach you,
有益的教诲你应当听取
Take my arms that I might reach you.
有助的臂膀你应当挽起
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
话语如雨滴悄然落下
And echoed
久久回荡
In the wells of silence.
在这寂静的源泉中
And the people bowed and prayed
人们膜拜祈祷
To the neon god they made.
向自己塑造的霓虹神灵
And the sign flashed its warning,
告示牌上闪烁出神灵的警告
In the words that it was forming.
若隐若现显示成行
And the signs said,
上面写着
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
“先贤们的箴言涂鸦在地铁的墙上
And tenement halls.
以及公寓走廊上
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
也在寂静之声中被低声呢喃”
