你好黑暗，我的老朋友
I've come to talk with you again
我又來和你海闊天空神侃

Within the sound of silence
靜默之聲的地盤中
In restless dreams I walked alone

I turned my collar to the cold and damp
我豎起衣領(lǐng)抵擋寒冷潮濕
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

And touched the sound of silence

Ten thousand people, maybe more

People talking without speaking

People writing songs that voices never share
人們寫歌卻從沒嗓音分享
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence
靜默之聲沒人敢打擾
"Fools" said I, "You do not know

But my words like silent raindrops fell
但話語如雨滴悄然落下
And echoed in the wells of silence
在靜默的源泉中漸漸模糊
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
人們向自己塑造的霓虹神靈膜拜祈禱
And the sign flashed out its warning
告示牌上閃爍出神靈的警告
And the words that it was forming
若隱若現(xiàn)顯示成行
And the sign said:
告示牌上寫道：
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
先賢們的箴言涂鴉在地鐵的大墻
And tenement halls
以及公寓走廊上
And whispered in the sound of silence."
也在靜默之聲中被低聲傳送”
