Ive come to talk with you again,跟你再次来到学院,
Because a vision softly creeping,因为一个远景细语蠕动,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,当我离开它的种子睡,
And the vision that was planted in my brain这是放置在视觉和脑袋
Still remains依然
Within the sound of silence.沉默的声音.
In restless dreams I walked alone我独自走在躁动梦
Narrow streets of cobblestone,狭窄的街道鹅卵石、
neath the halo of a street lamp,哈洛neath了路灯、
I turned my collar to the cold and damp我把我的衣领,寒冷潮湿
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light当我的眼睛被刺伤了一个闪光霓虹灯
That split the night分裂夜
And touched the sound of silence.沉默的声音和感动.
And in the naked light I saw而在我看到的火种
Ten thousand people, maybe more.万人,也许更多.
People talking without speaking,没有人谈上
People hearing without listening,人们听而不闻,
People writing songs that voices never share人们写歌,声音从未分享
And no one dare无人敢
Disturb the sound of silence.打扰声沉默.
Fools said i, you do not know说我傻,你不知道
Silence like a cancer grows.沉默像癌细胞生长.
Hear my words that I might teach you,听我的话,我可能会教你,
Take my arms that I might reach you.我把我的武器可能达到你.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,但我的话象无声雨滴下跌
And echoed并呼应
In the wells of silence沉默的水井
And the people bowed and prayed和人民低头和祈祷
To the neon God they made.霓虹上帝给了他们.
And the sign flashed out its warning,并亮出了自己的警告标志,
In the words that it was forming.它形成于文字.
And the sign said, the words of the prophets而签说,先知话
Are written on the subway walls写在地铁的墙壁
And tenement halls.唐会堂.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.而在whisperd声沉默.
