In restless dreams I walked alone (無止境的夢裡，我獨自走著 )
Narrow streets of cobblestone, (在鋪著鵝卵石狹窄的街道上)
'Neath the halo of a street lamp, (自泛著暈圈的街燈，)
I turned my collar to the cold and damp (我翻起衣領迎向濕冷的夜色)
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light (當霓虹燈閃光刺入我眼裏)
That split the night (撕裂了夜空同時)
And touched the sound of silence. (也打破了寂靜之聲)

And in the naked light I saw (而赤裸裸的光線下，我看到)
Ten thousand people, maybe more. (數以萬計或許更多的人；)
People talking without speaking, (他們交談卻不發一語)
People hearing without listening, (聞而不去傾聽)
People writing songs that voices never share (寫下曲子卻沒有歌唱)
And no one dare (而且無人膽敢)
Disturb the sound of silence. (去驚擾那寂靜之聲)

"Fools" said I, "You do not know (我說：「傻瓜，你們不曉得)
Silence like a cancer grows. (寂靜會像癌一般生長)
Hear my words that I might teach you, (請聽我的話，讓我教導你們)
Take my arms that I might reach you." (抓緊我的雙臂，讓我引導你們。」)
But my words like silent raindrops fell, (但是我的話只像無聲的雨落下)
And echoed (並回盪於)
In the wells of silence (寂靜之聲的井裡)

And the people bowed and prayed (而人們卻膜拜和祈禱)
To the neon god they made. (對著他們創造的霓虹燈神祇。)
And the sign flashed out its warning, (神跡閃爍出它的警語)
In the words that it was forming. (燈光形成了文字)
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls (它說：「先知的預言寫在地鐵牆上)
And tenement halls." (以及廉價公寓的走廊。」)
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence. (而一切在寂靜之聲中喃喃耳語)
