The sound of silence - 群星

Hello darkness my old friend

你好我的老伙伴黑暗

I've come to talk with you again

我又回来再和你谈谈

Because a vision softly creeping

因为有个悄然而入的幻影

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

像种子一样种在了我的梦里

And the vision that was planted in my brain

这个植入我脑中的幻影啊

Still remains within the sound of silence

至今仍在这沉默之声里！

In restless dreams I walked alone

在这些不安的梦里 我独自游荡

Narrow streets of cobblestone

独行在狭窄的鹅卵石街上

'Neath the halo of a street lamp

笼罩在街灯的昏暗光晕里

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

我竖起衣领以抵御寒冷潮湿

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

突然一道虚幻的闪光刺得我睁不开眼

That split the night and touched the sound of silence

这闪光劈开了夜空 触动了这沉默之声

And in the naked light I saw

在赤裸的光影中

Ten thousand people maybe more

我看到了芸芸万人之众

People talking without speaking

他们只能无言地交谈

People hearing without listening

他们只能无心地倾听

People writing songs that voices never shared

他们只能谱写不能吟唱的歌曲

And no one dared disturb the sound of silence

没有一个人胆敢打破这沉默之声

"Fools" said I "You do not know

“愚人们啊” 我说 “你们不知道

Silence like a cancer grows

沉默会像癌症般绝望地生长

Hear my words that I might teach you

听从我的劝导吧

Take my arms that I might reach you"

接受我的帮助吧

But my words like silent raindrops fell

但是我的话却如沉默的雨滴徒劳地落下

And echoed in the wells of silence

回响在沉默之井

And the people bowed and prayed

人们依然顶礼膜拜

To the neon god they made

自己塑造的虚幻之神

And the sign flashed out its warning

这个符号自己却亮出了警讯

In the words that it was forming

用它本身所生成的虚幻言语

And the sign said

符号告诫道

"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls

先知的预言写满地铁墙壁以及住户的厅堂

Whispered in the sound of silence"

悄然耳语在沉默之声里
