Hello darkness my old friend
黑夜 我亲爱的老朋友
I've come to talk with you again
我再次和你来谈谈心
Because a vision softly creeping
幻影迷离
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
因为有一种幻觉悄悄来临
And the vision that was planted in my brain
那种感觉依旧
Still remains
深深印在我的脑海中
Within the sound of silence
在这寂静的声音中
In restless dreams I walked alone
独自走在无止尽的梦里
Narrow streets of cobblestone
在圆石铺展的道路上
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
在路灯的光环之下
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
我竖起衣领 抵御寒冷和潮湿
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a
当我的眼睛
Neon light
被光所刺伤
That split the night
划破夜空的霓虹
And touched the sound of silence
被沉默之声所感动
And in the naked light I saw
在灯光下 我看到
Ten thousand people maybe more
人头攒动
People talking without speaking
人们说而不言
People hearing without listening
他们听而不闻
People writing songs that voices never shared
人们写着歌 从不分享那些声音
No one dared
也没人敢
Disturb the sound of silence
打扰寂静之音
Fools said I you do not know
愚蠢的人却不知道
Silence like a cancer grows
寂静就像癌细胞扩散
Hear my words that I might teach you
听我的话 我会教你的
Take my arms that I might reach you
握住我伸给你的手
But my words like silent raindrops fell
我的话语如雨滴降落
And echoed in the wells of silence
回荡在寂静的井里
And the people bowed and prayed
人们弯着腰祈祷着
To the neon god they made
向他们制造的霓虹祈祷着
And the sign flashed out it's warning
出现警告的迹象
In the words that it was forming
他们用着独特的语言
And the sign said the words of the prophets are
迹象说 这就是先知
Written on the subway walls
写在地铁的墙上
And tenement halls
和大厅上
And whispered in the sounds of silence
在寂静中低语
