寂静之声

🇨🇳

Hello darkness, my old friend

你好黑夜，我亲爱的老朋友

I've come to talk with you again

我又来这里与你交谈了

Because a vision softly creeping

因为幻象的悄然蔓延

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

将其种子遗留在我的梦境里

And the vision that was planted in my brain

而这景象已扎根在我的脑海

Still remains

久散不去

Within the sound of silence

在这寂静的声音里

In restless dreams I walked alone

我在躁动不安的梦境中独自前行

Narrow streets of cobblestone

在铺满鹅卵石的窄道上

'Neath the halo of a street lamp

在街灯的光晕下

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

我因寒冷和潮湿卷起衣领

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

一道霓虹光芒刺入我的双眼

That split the night

划破了黑夜

And touched the sound of silence

触碰到了这寂静的声音

And in the naked light I saw

在这悄无声息的夜中我看到

Ten thousand people, maybe more

成千上万的人们

People talking without speaking

他们无声谈论

People hearing without listening

他们听而不闻

People writing songs that voices never share

人们写着无法传唱的歌

And no one dared

没人敢

Disturb the sound of silence

惊扰这寂静之声

'Fools, ' said I, 'You do not know

傻孩子啊，我说，难道你们不知道吗

Silence, like a cancer, grows

寂静，如同癌症一般蔓延

Hear my words that I might teach you

聆听我的教诲

Take my arms that I might reach you'

接受我的帮助

But my words, like silent raindrops fell

但我的话却像寂静无声的雨

And echoed in the wells, of silence

落进同样一片死寂的井里

And the people bowed and prayed

人们朝着自创的霓虹上帝

To the neon god they made

鞠躬祈祷

And the sign flashed out its warning

霓虹的光耀闪现出告诫的话语

In the words that it was forming

这是霓虹文明的成型

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

上面写着，先知们的话语就写在地铁的墙上

And tenement halls'

和公寓的走廊里

And whispered in the sounds of silence

并且低低絮语着寂静之声
