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 因为有一种幻觉正向悄悄地向我袭来
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
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
