The sound of silence (Simon & Garfunkel)
Hello, darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence
In restless dream
I walked alone the narrow street of cobble stone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned 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
And in the naked light
I saw ten thousand people may be more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence
"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
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out it's warning
In the words that it was forming, and the signs said
"The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence"
沈默之聲 (賽門與葛芬柯二重唱)
嗨！黑暗，我的老友
我又來找你聊天了
只因有個幻象緩緩的爬過
趁我熟睡時灑下種籽
這個深植在我腦海裡的幻象
依然留存在沈默之聲裡
在無盡的夢境裡
我一個人走在圓石鋪成的狹窄街道上
在街燈的光暈下
我豎起衣領抵擋濕冷的天氣
當閃爍的霓虹燈刺痛了雙眼
光芒劃破夜空，也觸動了沈默之聲
在沒有燈罩的燈光下
我看到了數以萬計或者更多的人們
人們聊天而不談心
只用耳朵聽而非用心聆聽
人們寫著毫無感情分享的歌
而且沒有人敢去驚擾沈默之聲
「愚蠢的人們啊！」我說：「你們不明白------」
「沈默像癌細胞一樣蔓延
仔細聽聽我能教你的
握住我伸出的手。」
但我這些話像無聲的雨落下
在沈默的井裡發出回聲------
人們對著自己創造出來的霓虹神像膜拜禱告
告示上閃爍著警句
在逐漸顯現的字句中，它說著：
「先知的箴言，
寫在地下鐵的牆壁和廉價公寓的長廊裡，
並且在沈默之聲中低迴不已---------」
