The Sound Of Silence

hello darkness my old friend.
你好 黑暗 我的老朋友
i've come to talk with you again.
我又来和你交谈

因为有一种幻觉正向悄悄地向我袭来
because a vision softly creeping.
在我熟睡的时候留下了它的种子

这种幻觉在我的脑海里生根发芽
left its seeds while i was sleeping.
缠绕着我

伴随着寂静的声音
and the vision that was planted in my brain.
在不安的梦幻中我独自行走

狭窄的鹅卵石街道
still remains.
在路灯的光环照耀下

我竖起衣领 抵御严寒和潮湿
within the sound of silence !
一道耀眼的霓虹灯光 刺入我的眼睛

它划破夜空
in restless dreams i walk along.
触摸着寂静的声音

在炫目的灯光下
narrow streets of cobble stone
我看见成千上万的人

人们说而不言
'neath the halo of a street lamp.
听而不闻

人们创造歌曲却唱不出声来
i turned my collar to the cold damp.
没有人敢

打扰这寂静的声音
when my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light
我说：傻瓜，难道你不知道

寂静如同顽疾滋长
that split the night..
听我对你说的有益的话

拉住我伸给你的手
and touched the sound of silence.
但是我的话犹如雨滴飘落

在寂静的水井中回响
and in the naked light i saw.
人们向自己创造的霓虹之神

神光中闪射出告诫的语句
ten thousand people, maybe more.
在字里行间指明

它告诉人们
people talking without speaking.
预言者的话都已写在

地铁的墙上和房屋的大厅里
people hearing without listening.
在寂静的声音里低语

people writing songs that voices never share.

and no one dare.

disturb the sound of silence.

"fool" 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 rain-drops fell.

and echoed in the wells of silence.

and the people bowed and prayed.

to the neon god they made.

and the sign flashed out its warning.

in the words that it was forming.

and the sign said "the words of the prophets.

are written on the subway walls tenement halls".

and whispered in the sounds of silence.
