寂静之声

佚 名

Hello darkness, my old friend你好,黑暗。我的老朋友。

Ive come to talk with you again我又来和你交谈。

Because a vision softly creeping因为有一种幻觉正悄悄地向我袭来,

Left its 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 by the flash of a neon light一道耀眼的霓虹灯光刺入我的眼睛,

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 that voices never share人们创造歌曲却唱不出声来,

And no one dare disturb the sound of silence没有人敢打扰这寂静的声音。
