Sound Of Silence (寂静之声) - Simon & Garfunkel

Written by：Paul Simon

Hello darkness my old friend

你好黑夜 我的老友

I've come to talk with you again

我又来找你聊天了

Because a vision softly creeping

因为那幻觉悄无声息地潜入

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

In restless dreams I walked alone

在不安的梦中 我独自漫步

Narrow streets of cobblestone

在铺着鹅卵石的羊肠小道上

Neath the halo of a streetlamp

在路灯昏黄的灯光下

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

我把衣领立起来 抵挡寒冷潮湿

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

当闪烁的霓虹灯 刺入我眼帘

That split the night

刺破了夜晚

And touched the sound of silence

打破了寂静之声

And in the naked light I saw

在茫茫夜幕下 我看到

Ten thousand people maybe more

成千上万的人们

People talking without speaking

人们说而不言

People hearing without listening

人们听而不闻

People writing songs that voices never share

人们谱写着无人吟唱的乐章

No one dare

但是无人敢

Disturb the sound of silence

打破这寂静之声

Fools said I you do not know

我说 愚蠢的人们啊 你们不知道

Silence like a cancer grow

寂静就像顽疾滋长

Hear my words that I might teach you

倾听我的言语 我可以教诲你

Take my arms that I might reach you

拥抱着我 那样我就能靠近你

But my words like silent raindrops fell

但我的言语 就像无声的雨滴

And echoed in the wells of silence

回声在寂静中环绕

And the people bowed and prayed

人们叩首祈祷

To the neon god they made

在这霓虹灯下 这是上帝的杰作

And the sign flashed out its warning

这是突如其来的警告

In the words that it was forming

若隐若现显示成行

And the sign said the words of the prophets

这先知的话语

Are written on subway walls

已被写在地铁的墙上

And tenement halls

在公寓走廊上

And whispered in the sounds of silence

在这寂静之声中 轻轻低吟
