The Sound of Silence——Simon & Ga

Hello darkness, my old friend 

I've come to talk with you again 

Because a vision softly creeping 

Left its seeds while I was sleeping 

And the vision that was planted in my brain 

Still remains 

Within the sound of silence  

In restless dreams I walked alone 

Narrow streets of cobblestone 

'Neath the halo of a street lamp 

I turned my collar to the cold and damp 

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light 

That split the night 

And touched the sound of silence 

And in the naked light I saw 

Ten thousand people, maybe more 

People talking without speaking 

People hearing without listening 

People writing songs that voices never share 

And no one dare 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 to you 

But my words like silent as raindrops 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 

And the words that it was forming 

And the sign said: 

"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

and tenement halls 

And whispered in the sound of silence."

你好 黑暗 我的老朋友 

我又来和你交谈 

因为有一种幻觉正向悄悄地向我袭来 

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 

缠绕着我 

伴随着寂静的声音 

在不安的梦幻中我独自行走 

狭窄的鹅卵石街道 

在路灯的光环照耀下 

我竖起衣领 抵御严寒和潮湿 

一道耀眼的霓虹灯光刺入我的眼睛 

它划破夜空 

触摸着寂静的声音 

在炫目的灯光下 

我看见成千上万的人 

人们说而不言 

听而不闻 

人们创造歌曲却唱不出声来 

没有人敢打扰这寂静的声音 

我说：“傻瓜，难道你不知道 

寂静如同顽疾滋长” 

听我对你说的有益的话 

拉住我伸给你的手 

但是我的话犹如雨滴飘落 

在寂静的水井中回响 

人们向自己创造的霓虹之神

鞠躬 祈祷

神光中闪射出告诫的语句 

在字里行间指明 

它告诉人们 

预言者的话都已写在地铁的墙上 

和房屋的大厅里 

在寂静的声音里低语
