The Sound Of Silence 沉默之聲

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while i was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
嗨,黑暗,我的老友
又來找你閒聊
因那影像緩緩匍進
正當夢鄉遺留種因
那影像植入我腦
停稍
那沉默之聲

(待續 先亂番一通)

In restless dreams I walked alone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turn my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
無盡的夢中我玗行
在那街燈的光冕下
扯梃領子擋那潮寒
當我兩眼迷炫於霓虹燈閃閃
那劃開當夜
碰觸了沉默之聲

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
赤裸光線下我見
上萬人群或甚
人們無聲談論著
人們不聆聽地聽著
人們寫著聲音從未分享的歌
沒人敢
打擾這沉默之聲

"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
我說 白癡 你不知
沉默像個癌症滋長
聽我話或許我會教你
拉起我臂膀或許我會挺你
但 我的話像淨默雨滴滑落
迴蕩在沉默之井

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sigh flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sigh said "The words of the prophets are written on
the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence
而人們鞠躬哈腰.讚美
他們製造的霓虹神祇
而那嘆息閃出它的警訊
在正形成的字句中
而那嘆息是說 警世箴言寫在
地鐵牆上
xx廳上
以沉默之聲耳語著
