<The Sound Of Silence>这首歌的歌词及中文大意

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.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
‘Neath 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, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
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 its 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 whisper’d in the sounds of silence.

黑暗，老朋友，我来了
又想同你谈谈
突然有一种幻觉悄悄来临
趁着我入睡时播下了种子
那些个在我脑海中不停滋生的幻觉啊
还仍然滞留在寂寞之声中

在永无休止的梦里
我孤独地行走在
狭窄的布满圆石的路上
行走在路灯的光晕下
感到有点寒冷潮湿
于是我翻竖起衣领
那盏刺痛我双眼的霓红灯
划破了夜晚
触到了寂寞的音符

在那无遮蔽的灯光下
我看见成千上万的人
也许更多
人们无声地诉说着
人们无语地倾听着
他们写出一首首歌曲
却没有一个人去唱
没有人敢
惊扰寂寞沉睡时的轻梦

我说：你们这群傻子啊
难道不知道寂寞的癌细胞正在扩散吗
好好记住我教你们的话
握紧我伸给你们的手臂
可惜我的话只如同雨滴无声地落下
回荡在寂静的深井里

看人们朝着象征神圣的氖灯低头祈祷
而霓红灯广告牌却在讽刺地一闪一闪
发出这样的警告：
“先哲的预言就在地道下的墙上
就写在贫民们的住房里”
还依旧在一片祷告的寂静中喃喃地低语

歌词有点晦涩，我理解就是“沉默的力量”和沉默的哑忍，有的人有想法却不敢说，但是这种想法慢慢继续就会成为一种力量，一种无形的抵抗，终究会爆发出来。
歌词翻译如下。

The Sound of Silence
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
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
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
我说：“傻瓜，难道你不知道
Silence like a cancer grows”
寂静如同顽疾滋长”
Hear my words that I might teach you
听我对你说的有益的话
Take my arms that I might reach to you
拉住我伸给你的手
But my words like silent as raindrops fell
但是我的话犹如雨滴飘落
And echoed in the wells of silence
在寂静的水井中回响
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.
人们向自己创造的霓虹之神
鞠躬 祈祷
And the sign flashed out its warning
神光中闪射出告诫的语句
And the words that it was forming
在字里行间指明
And the sign said:
它告诉人们
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
预言者的话都已写在地铁的墙上
and tenement halls
和房屋的大厅里
And whispered in the sound of silence."
在寂静的声音里低语

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,

And in the naked light I saw

People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
