歌词与中文翻译
嘿 暗夜 我的老朋友
Hello darkness my old friend.
我又来找你聊天啦
I've come to talk with you again.
因为有一种幻觉在悄悄地向我袭来
Because a vision softly creeping
在我的熟睡时埋下种子
Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
脑海中的幻象生根发芽
And the vision that was planted in my brain
仍在缠绕着，在这寂静之声中
Still remains with the sound of silence
在不安的梦中我独自行走
In restless dreams I walk alone
在铺着鹅卵石的羊肠小道上
Narrow streets of cobble stone
在路灯昏黄的灯光下
Beneath the hallo of a street lamp,
我竖起衣领来抵御严寒和潮湿
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
当一道耀眼的霓虹灯光刺入我的眼睛
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
它划破了夜空
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 night I saw ten thousand people may be more
人们说而不言，人们听而不闻
People talking without speaking hearing without listening
人们谱写无人吟唱的乐章
People writing songs that voices never share
但是无人敢打破这寂静之声
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence
我说 傻瓜，难道你不知道
"Fool" said I "you do not know
寂静就像顽疾滋长
Silence like a cancer grows
倾听我的言语我可以教诲你
Hear my words that I might teach you
拉住我的手臂我可以拯救你
Take my arms that I might reach you
但我的言语就像寂静雨点簌簌滑落
But my words like silent rain-drops fell
在这寂静之井中回荡
And echo-ed in the wells of silence
人们叩首祈祷
And the people bow and prayed
向着他们创制的闪耀的神
to the neon God they made
在字里行间指明
And the sign flash out its warning
它告诉人们
In the words that it was forming
那牌子上写着：“先知的话，
And the sings said "The words of the prophers are
写在地下道的墙上和房屋的大厅里”
written the subway walls and tenement halls"
在这寂静之声中轻轻低吟
And whispered in the sounds of silence
