Hello darkness, my old friend,
嗨 ~ 暗夜 我的老友
I've come to talk with you again,
我又回來找你聊天哈拉了
Because a vision softly creeping,
因為...有個異象 正輕輕滑過
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
它趁我睡著時 偷偷留下了種籽
And the vision that was planted in my brain
而這個種植 在我腦海裡的異象
Still remains with in the sound of silence
至今 令人難忘... 它就是 ~ 沈默之聲
In restless dreams I walked alone
無數輾轉難眠的夢中 我一人獨行
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
在狹窄ㄉ街道 圓石路上
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
街燈渲染的光暈 層層將我籠罩
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
寒夜ㄉ溼冷 不經讓我豎起衣領...
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
讓我眼睛無比刺眼ㄉ是 閃亮的霓虹燈光
That split the night
它劃破夜空
And touched the sound of silence
也碰觸孤單ㄉ我 那就是..沈默之聲.....
And in the naked light I saw
在路燈清晰的照亮中 我看見
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
成千上萬的人 ㄝ許更多
People talking without speaking,
他們交談著 言不由衷ㄉ話語
People hearing without listening,
他們只聽表像 沒有用心傾聽
People writing songs that voices never share
他們寫著一些沒有傳達任何意義 心聲的歌曲
And no one dared disturb the sound of silence.
但是為何 沒有人敢去驚擾指正它... 沈默之聲.....
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
我說: 「愚蠢的人啊, 你們不知道
Silence like a cancer grows.
沈默 會像 一ㄍ癌細胞那樣之滋長
Hear my words that I might teach you,
聽信我話語 才能教導你
Take my arms that I might reach you."
拉緊我手臂 才能拯救你」
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
但是我的話 恰似 無聲落下的雨滴
And echoed in the wells of silence.
迴響深井裡... 猶如沉默之聲.....
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.
人們虔誠地 跪拜禱告 對著自己一手打造的霓虹神像
And the sign flashed out its warning,
但是 警訊一再閃爍顯現
In the words that it was forming.
在 慢慢成形的語錄裡
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
警訊上寫著: 「先知的語錄會顯現 寫在地鐵的牆上
And tenement halls."
以及出租公寓的大廳裡」
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
它們將久久迴盪不散..在沈默之聲中.....
