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Because a vision softly creeping因为有一种幻觉正向悄悄地向我袭来Left it's seeds while I was sleeping在我熟睡的时候留下了它的种子And the vision that was planted in my brain这种幻觉在我的脑海里生根发芽Still remains缠绕着我Within the sound of silence伴随着寂静的声音In restless dreams I walked alone在不安的梦幻中我独自行走Narrow streets of cobblestone狭窄的鹅卵石街道'Neath the halo of a street lamp在路灯的光环照耀下I turned my collar to the cold and damp我竖起衣领 抵御严寒和潮湿When my eyes were stabbed一道耀眼的霓虹灯光By the flash of a neon light刺入我的眼睛That split the night它划破夜空And touched the sound of silence触摸着寂静的声音And in the naked light I saw在炫目的灯光下Ten thousand people maybe more我看见成千上万的人People talking without speaking人们说而不言People hearing without listening听而不闻People writing songs人们创造歌曲That voices never shared却唱不出声来And no one dared没有人敢Disturb the sound of silence打扰这寂静的声音Fools said I you do not know我说：傻瓜 难道你不知道Silence like a cancer grows寂静如同顽疾滋长Hear my words that I might teach you听我对你说的有益的话Take my arms that I might reach you拉住我伸给你的手But my words like silent raindrops fell但是我的话犹如雨滴飘落And echoed in the wells of silence在寂静的水井中回响And the people bowed and prayed人们向自己To the neon god they made创造的霓虹之神鞠躬祈祷And the sign flashed out it's warning神光中闪射出告诫的语句In the words that it was forming在字里行间指明Then the sign said它告诉人们The words on the prophets预言者的话都已Are written on the subway walls写在地铁的墙上In tenement halls和房屋的大厅里And whispered in the sound of silence在寂静的声音里低语And in the naked light I saw在炫目的灯光下Ten thousand people maybe more我看见成千上万的人People talking without speaking人们说而不言People hearing without listening听而不闻People writing songs人们创造歌曲That voices never shared却唱不出声来And no one dared没有人敢Disturb the sound of silence打扰这寂静的声音。
