The Sound of Silence (Live on CONAN)

你好黑暗我的老朋友
Hello darkness my old friend
我又來與你交談

因為有一種幻覺正向我悄然襲來
I've come to talk with you again
熟睡之時，在我腦海中留下了它的種子

這幻覺在我的腦海裡生根發芽
Because a vision softly creeping
久久不能散去

伴隨著寂靜之聲
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
在不安的夢境中我獨自行走在

狹窄的鵝卵石街道
And the vision that was planted in my brain
在路燈的光環照耀下

我用衣領來抵擋寒冷與濕氣
Still remains
一道耀眼的霓虹燈光刺入我的眼睛

它劃過了夜空
Within the sound of silence
打破了這寂靜之聲

在微弱的燈光之下
In restless dreams I walked alone
我看到了無盡的人們

人們言而無心
Narrow streets of cobblestone
人們聽而不聞

人們在彼此間築起隔閡
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
沒人敢

打破這寂靜之聲
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
我說：“傻瓜，難道你不知道

寂靜如同頑疾滋長”
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
聆聽我的言語，或會讓你受益幾分

拉住我的臂膀，或會讓你就此覺醒
That split the night
但我的言語就如無聲的雨滴般落下

迴響在寂靜的井中
And touched the sound of silence
人們對自己所創造的

神明頂禮膜拜
And in the naked light I saw
神兆中閃射出告誡之語

在字裡行間清楚指明
Ten thousand people maybe more
它告訴人們

先知者的話都已銘刻在地道之牆上
People talking without speaking
與破損的房屋中

亦在寂靜之聲中被低語
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share

No one dared

Disturb the sound of silence

Fools said I you do not know

Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach you

But my words like silent raindrops fell

And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neongod they made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In the words that it was forming

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

Tenement halls

Whispered in the sounds of silence
