the sound of silence
無聲之音(老唤譯)
Hello darkness, my old friend
喂 黑暗，老朋友
I've come to talk with you again
我又來找你聊天兒
Because a vision softly creeping
因為一個幻象輕柔地溜進了我的夢境
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
播下了它的種子
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains
在我腦海裡種下的幻象依然還在
Within the sound of silence
無聲之音里生長
In restless dreams, I walked alone
在輾轉反側的夢裡，我獨自前行
Narrow streets of cobblestone
在鵝卵石的羊腸小道上
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
在路燈的光環下
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
我豎起衣領抵禦寒冷和濕氣
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night
當撕開夜幕的霓虹燈刺痛了我的雙眼
And touched the sound of silence
也觸碰了無聲之音
And in the naked light I saw
在耀眼的燈光中
Ten thousand people, maybe, more
我看到成千上萬的人
People talking without speaking
在訴說著無言之語
People hearing without listening
他們聽而不聞
People writing songs that voices never shared
譜寫著從不分享心聲的歌曲
and no one dared
沒人敢於
Disturb the sound of silence
打破這無聲之音
"Fools," said I, "You do not know
我說道“愚人們，你們可知道
Silence like a cancer grows
無聲會像癌細胞一樣蔓延
Hear my words that I might teach you
請聽我會告訴你們的話
Take my arms that I might reach you”
請挽住我會伸向你們的胳膊”
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
但是我的話就像無聲的雨滴滴落
And echoed in the wells of silence
迴響在無聲的深井里
And the people bowed and prayed
人們低頭祈禱
To the neon god they made
對著臆造的霓虹神像
And the sign flashed out its warning
象徵顯現出它的警示
In the words that it was forming
在它形成的話語中
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls
象徵說“先知的預言寫在地鐵的牆上和分租公寓的走廊
And whispered in the sound of silence”
在無聲之音中竊竊私語”
