the sound of silence

Hello darkness my old friend
[00:01.698]
I've come to talk with you again
[00:03.200]
Because a vision softly creeping
黑夜你好啊我的老友
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
我又來找你聊天了
And the vision that was planted in my brain
因為有個幻影輕輕爬進來
Still remains
趁我熟睡時暗暗播下了種子
Within the sound of silence
使這個幻影深植入我腦海中
In restless dreams I walked alone
縈繞盤旋不去
Narrow streets of cobblestone
在寂靜無聲的此刻
Neath the halo of a street lamp
在無數不平靜的夢中我獨身一人
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
行走在鵝卵石鋪成狹窄街道上
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
頭頂上街燈的光暈將我籠罩
A neon light
我豎起衣領抵禦寒冷和潮濕
That split the night
當我的眼睛為刺眼的
And touched the sound of silence
霓虹燈閃爍所迷時
And in the naked light I saw
霓虹燈的閃爍也劃破了夜空
Ten thousand people maybe more
打破了黑夜的沉靜
People talking without speaking
在無遮燈照耀下我看到
People hearing without listening
數以萬計的人們
People writing songs that voices never share
有的在說著無聊的話語
No one dared
有的在漫不經心的聽著別人說
Disturb the sound of silence
有的在寫著那些從不會被傳唱的歌
Fools said I you do not know
但沒有人敢於去
Silence like a cancer grows
打破這份寂靜
Hear my words that I might teach you
我說道:'愚蠢的人啊你們不知道'
Take my arms that I might reach you
靜默會像癌細胞那樣擴散
But my words like silent raindrops fell
聽我的話我才能教導你
Echoed
抓緊我的手我才能救你
In the wells of silence
但是我的話卻如寂靜無聲的雨點落下
And the people bowed and prayed
徒然迴響
To the neon god they made
在沉靜的井裡
And the sign flashed out its warning
人們仍然頂禮膜拜著
In the words that it was forming
自己塑造的霓虹燈神
And the signs said the words ofthe prophets
霓虹神以它閃爍的文字顯出其預兆
Are written on the subway walls
警告的話語漸漸成型
Tenement halls
預兆顯示先知的話語
Whispered in the sounds of silence
