寂静之声

Hello darkness, my old friend你好,黑暗。我的老朋友。
　　I’ve come to talk with you again我又来和你交谈。
　　Because a vision softly creeping因为有一种幻觉正悄悄地向我袭来,
　　Left its seeds while I was sleeping在我熟睡的时候留下了它的种子,
　　And the vision that was planted in my brain这种幻觉在我的脑海里生根发芽。
　　Still remains缠绕着我,
　　Within the sound of silence伴随着寂静的声音,
　　In restless dreams I walked alone在不安的梦幻中我独自行走。
　　Narrow streets of cobblestone狭窄的鹅卵石街道,
　　’Neath the halo of a street lamp在路灯的光环照耀下,
　　I turned my collar to the cold and damp我竖起衣领抵御严寒和潮湿。
　　When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light一道耀眼的霓虹灯光刺入我的眼睛,
　　That split the night它划破夜空,
　　And touched the sound of silence触摸着寂静的声音,
　　And in the naked light I saw在炫目的灯光下,
　　Ten thousand people, maybe more我看见成千上万的人。
　　People talking without speaking人们说而不言,
　　People hearing without listening听而不闻,
　　People writing songs that voices never share人们创造歌曲却唱不出声来,
　　And no one dare disturb the sound of silence没有人敢打扰这寂静的声音。
