The Sound Of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel

Lyrics by：Paul Simon

Composed by：Paul Simon

Hello darkness my old friend

你好 黑暗 我的老朋友

I've come to talk with you again

我又来找你聊天了

Because a vision softly creeping

因为有一种幻觉正向悄悄地向我袭来

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

在我熟睡的时候播下了种子

And the vision that was planted in my brain

这种幻觉在我的脑海里生根发芽

Still remains within the sound of silence

伴随着寂静的声音萦绕盘旋不去

In restless dreams I walked alone

在不安的梦幻中我独自行走

Narrow streets of cobblestone

行走在鹅卵石铺成狭窄街道上

'Neath the halo of a street lamp

头顶上街灯的光晕将我笼罩

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

我竖起衣领以抗御这湿冷的夜

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

当我的眼睛为刺眼的霓虹灯闪烁所迷时

That split the night and touched the sound of silence

霓虹灯的闪烁也划破了夜空 打破了黑夜的沉静

And in the naked light I saw

在无遮灯照耀下我看到

Ten thousand people maybe more

人头攒动

People talking without speaking

有的人在说着无聊的话语

People hearing without listening

有的人在漫不经心的听着别人说

People writing songs that voices never shared

有的人在写着那些从不会被传唱的歌

And no one dared disturb the sound of silence

但没有人敢于去打破这份静默

Fools said I you do not know

我说：愚蠢的人啊 你们不知道

Silence like a cancer grows

寂静如同顽疾滋长

Hear my words that I might teach you

听我的话 我才能教导你

Take my arms that I might reach you

抓紧我的手 我才能救你

But my words like silent raindrops fell

但是我的话却如寂静无声的雨点落下

And echoed in the wells of silence

徒然回响在沉静的井里

And the people bowed and prayed

人们仍然顶礼膜拜着

To the neon God they made

自己塑造的霓虹灯神文明

And the sign flashed out its warning

霓虹灯(文明)以它闪烁的文字显出其预兆

In the words that it was forming

警告的话语渐渐成型

And the sign said

预兆显示:先知的话语

The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

已被写在地铁的墙上以及出租公寓的走廊上

And tenement halls and whispered in the sound of silence

也在无声的静默中被轻声传送
