♪ Hello darkness, my old friend ♪

你好，黑暗，我的老朋友

♪ I've come to talk with you again ♪

我又来和你倾诉心头

♪ Because a vision softly creeping ♪

因为有个幻象悄悄潜入

♪ Left its seeds while I was sleeping ♪

在我沉睡时种下了它的籽株

♪ And the vision that was planted in my brain ♪

而这幻象，在我脑海里扎根深处

♪ Still remains ♪

至今仍留驻

♪ Within the sound of silence ♪

在这寂静之声中潜伏

♪ In restless dreams, I walked alone ♪

在不安的梦里，我独自漫步

♪ Narrow streets of cobblestone ♪

在狭窄的鹅卵石街道上踟蹰

♪ 'Neath the halo of a street lamp ♪

在街灯光晕的笼罩下

♪ I turned my collar to the cold and damp ♪

我竖起衣领，抵挡这寒冷与潮湿

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

当我的眼睛被霓虹灯的光芒刺穿

♪ That split the night ♪

将黑夜撕裂成了两半

♪ And touched the sound of silence ♪

并触碰到了寂静之声

♪ And in the naked light, I saw ♪

在这赤裸的光芒中，我看到

♪ Ten thousand people, maybe more ♪

成千上万的人，或许更多

♪ People talking without speaking ♪

人们在交谈却并非真心诉说

♪ People hearing without listening ♪

人们在倾听却并未用心去捉摸

♪ People writing songs that voices never shared ♪

人们谱写歌曲，却无人将它们传唱散播

♪ And no one dared ♪

打破这寂静之声

♪ Hear my words that I might teach you ♪

听我说，或许我能教导你们

♪ Take my arms that I might reach you" ♪

握住我的手，或许我能触及你们的心房”

♪ But my words, like silent raindrops fell ♪

但我的话语，像无声的雨滴般飘落

♪ And echoed in the wells of silence ♪

在寂静的深井中回荡

♪ And the people bowed and prayed ♪

人们弯腰祈祷

♪ To the neon god they made ♪

向他们创造的霓虹之神顶礼膜拜

♪ And the sign flashed its warning ♪

那标牌闪烁着它的警告

♪ In the words that it was forming ♪

用它正在形成的文字表达

♪ Then the sign said, ♪

然后那标牌说：

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

“先知的话语，被书写在地铁的墙壁上

♪ In tenement halls" ♪

在廉租公寓的大厅里发芽”

♪ And whispered in the sound of silence ♪

并在寂静之声中低语回响

(cheers and applause)
