The Sound of Silence – 英语/中文 双语歌词

歌词与翻译

[中文]

你好 黑暗 我的老友

我又来与你倾心交谈

只因有幻影悄然而至

趁我沉睡时播下种子

那些深植脑海的幻象

至今依然

静默之声仍不停回响

不安梦境中踽踽独行

狭窄的鹅卵石街道

街灯晕染的光圈之下

我竖起衣领抵御寒凉

当霓虹光芒刺痛双眼

撕裂了夜色

触碰着静默的声响

在赤裸的光芒中看见

万千人影 或许更多

人们交谈却心不在焉

侧耳倾听却充耳不闻

谱写无人吟唱的歌谣

无人敢去

惊扰这静默之声

愚者啊 我说你们不懂

沉默如癌悄然蔓延

听我话语愿能启迪你

挽我手臂愿能触及你

但话语如无声雨滴坠落

在寂静深井中回响

人们俯身虔诚祈祷

向着自造的霓虹神像

告示牌闪烁警示光芒

字句逐渐显形其上

写着先知箴言镌刻在地铁砖墙

在廉租公寓走廊

于静默之声中低语

...

[英语]

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 streetlamp

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 shared

No one dared

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 you"

But my words like silent 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

In the words that it was forming

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

In tenement halls"

And whispered in the sounds of silence
