The Sound of Silence

Hello darkness my old friend
黑暗，老朋友，我来了
I've come to talk with you again
又想同你谈谈
Because a vision softly creeping
突然有一种幻觉悄悄来临
Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
趁着我入睡时播下了种子
And the vision that was planted in my brain.
那些个在我脑海中不停滋生的幻觉啊
Still remains.
还仍然滞留
Within the sound of silence
在寂寞之声中
In restless dreams I walk alone
在无休止的梦里我孤独地行走在
Narrow streets of cobble stone.
狭窄的布满圆石的路上
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
行走在路灯的光晕下
I turned my collar 2 the cold & damp.
感到有点寒冷潮湿于是我翻竖起衣领
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light.
那盏刺痛我双眼的霓红灯
That split the night.
划破了夜晚
And touched the sound of silence
触到了寂寞的音符
And in the naked night I saw.
在那无遮蔽的灯光下
Ten thousand people maybe more
我看见成千上万的人也许更多
People talking without speaking.
人们无心地说着
People hearing without listening
人们无心地听着
People writing songs that voices never share.
没有一个人去分享他们写的歌
And no one dare.
没人敢
Disturb the sound of silence
惊扰寂静之声

我说傻瓜你不知道
"Fool" said I "U do not know.
寂静就像癌细胞在扩散
"Silence like a cancer grows.
好好记住我教你们的话
Hear my words that I might teach U
握紧我伸给你们的手臂
"Take my arms that I might reach U
可惜我的话只如同雨滴无声地落下
But my words like silent rain-drops fell
回荡在寂静的深井里
And echoed in the wells of silence
看人们朝着象征神圣的氖灯低头祈祷
And the people bow & prayed
而霓红灯广告牌却在讽刺地一闪一闪
To the neon God they made
发出这样的警告
And the sign flash out its warning.
话中显示
In the words that it was forming
标志“预言”
And the sign said "The words of the prophers
就在地道下的墙上 就写在贫民们的住房里
Are written the subway walls & tenement halls".
还依旧在一片祷告的寂静中喃喃地低语
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
