Sound Of Silence - “畢業生”

Sound Of Silence 寂靜之聲

by Simon & Garfunkel

hello darkness, my old friend 你好 黑暗 的老朋友
i've come to talk with you again 又來和你交談
because a vision softly creeping 因為有一種幻覺正向悄悄地向襲來
left its seeds while i was sleeping 在 熟睡的時候留下了它的種子 a
nd the vision that was planted in my brain 這種幻覺在 的腦海裏生根發芽
still remains 纏繞著
within the sound of silence 伴隨著寂靜的聲音

in restless dreams i walked alone 在不安的夢幻中 獨自行走
narrow streets of cobblestone 狹窄的鵝卵石街道
neath the halo of a street lamp 在路燈的光環照耀下
i turned my collar to the cold and damp 豎起衣領 抵禦嚴寒和潮濕
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light 一道耀眼的霓虹燈光刺入的眼睛
that split the night 它劃破夜空

and touched the sound of silence 觸摸著寂靜的聲音
and in the naked light i saw 在炫目的燈光下
ten thousand people, maybe more 看見成千上萬的人
people talking without speaking 人們說而不言
people hearing without listening 聽而不聞
people writing songs that voices never share 人們創造歌曲卻唱不出聲來
and no one dare disturb the sound of silence 沒有人敢打擾這寂靜的聲音

"fools" said i, "you do not know 說：“傻瓜，難道你不知道
silence like a cancer grows” 寂靜如同頑疾滋長”
hear my words that i might teach you 聽 對你說的有益的話
take my arms that i might reach to you 拉住 伸給你的手
but my words like silent as raindrops fell 但是 的話猶如雨滴飄落
and echoed in the wells of silence 在寂靜的水井中回響

and the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made. 人們向自己創造的霓虹之神 鞠躬祈禱
and the sign flashed out its warning 神光中閃射出告誡的語句
and the words that it was forming 在字裏行間指明
and the sign said: 它告訴人們
the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls 預言者的話都已寫在地鐵的牆上
and tenement halls 和房屋的大廳裏
and whispered in the sound of silence." 在寂靜的聲音裏低語
