寂静之声 - Various Artists

词：Paul Simon

曲：Paul Simon

Hello darkness my friend

你好，黑暗，我的朋友

Love come to talk with you again

爱再次回来和你谈话

Because a vision softly creeping

因为梦幻缓缓涌现

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

当我睡觉的时候留下它的种子

And the vision

这幻想

That was planted in my brain

种在我的脑子里

Still remains

仍然还在

Within the sound of silence

在沉默的声音中

In restless dreams I walked alone

在无力的梦中我独自行走

Narrow streets of cobblestone

用鹅卵石铺的狭窄的路上

Neath the halo of a street lamp

在路灯光环的下面

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

寒冷和潮湿让我缩紧衣领

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

当我的眼睛被霓虹灯的光刺到

That split the night and touched the sound of silence

它划破夜空，触摸到沉默的声音

And in the naked light I saw

在炫目的灯光中我看到

Ten thousand people maybe more

成千上万人，或许更多

People talking without speaking

人们闭听

People hearing without listening

却声声贯耳

People writing songs

人们写着歌

That voices never share

却没嗓音分享

No one dare disturb the sound of silence

没人敢惊扰这沉默的声音

Fools said I you do not know silence like a cancer grows

愚蠢的人说 你不知道沉默像滋生的癌症

Hear my words that I might teach you

听我的话 我可以教你

Take my arms that I might reach you

抓住我的胳膊 我可以带你走

But my words like silence raindrops fell

我的话像沉默的雨滴坠落

And echoed in the wells of silence

回声在沉默的井中

And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made

人们相拥着向他们创造的霓虹灯上帝祈祷

And the sign flashed out its warning

标志闪现警告着

In the words that it was forming

在形成的话中

And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

标志写着 先贤们的话写在地铁墙上

And tenement halls

和房屋的大厅里

Whispered in the sounds of silence

在沉默的声音的低语中
