The Sound of Silence

Hello darkness my old friend
你好黑暗，我的老朋友
Ive come to talk with you again
我又來和你交談
Because a vision softly creeping
因為有一種幻覺正向悄悄地向我襲來
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
趁我熟睡埋下了它的種子
And the vision that was planted in my brain
這種幻覺在我的腦海裡生根發芽
Still remains.Within the sound of silence !
纏繞著我.伴隨著寂靜的聲音
In restless dreams I walked alone
在不安的夢境中我獨自遊蕩
Narrow streets of cobble stone
狹窄的鵝卵石街道
Neath the halo of a street lamp
在路燈的光環照耀下
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
我豎起衣領抵禦嚴寒和潮濕
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
就在我的眼睛被一盞霓虹燈的閃光刺穿的同時
That split the night
光芒劃破了夜空
And touched the sound of silence
打破了這份寂靜
And in the naked night I saw
在孱弱的燭光中我看到
Ten thousand people maybe more
成千上萬的人們，或許更多
People talking without speaking
人們緘口卻傾述心聲
People hearing without listening
人們罔聞卻聲聲貫耳
People writing songs that voices never share
人們創作歌曲卻從卻唱不出聲來
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence.
沒有人敢打擾這寂靜的聲音
' Fool' said I 'you do not know
“傻瓜” 我說“難道你不知道”
Silence like a cancer grows.'
寂靜如同頑疾滋長
Hear my words that I might teach you
有益的教誨你當聽取
Take my arms that I might reach you
有助的臂膀你該挽起
But my words like silent rain-drops fell
但話語如雨滴悄然落
And echoed in the wells of silence
在寂靜的水井中漸漸模糊
And the people bow and prayed
人們向自己創造的
To the neon God they made
霓虹之神祈禱膜拜
And the sign flash out its warning
神光中閃射出告誡的語句
In the words that it was forming
若隱若現顯示成行
And the sign said
它告訴人們
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
預言者的話都已寫在地鐵的牆上
And tenement halls
以及公寓走廊上
And whispered in the sounds of silence
也在寂靜的聲音裡低語
