歌词大意：

Hello darkness my old friend

(资料图片)

　　嘿黑夜啊我的老友

　　I've come to talk with U again

　　我又来找你聊天了

　　Because a vision softly creeping

　　因为有个幻影轻轻爬进来

　　Left its seeds while I was sleeping

　　趁我熟睡时暗暗播下了种子

　　And the vision that was planted in my brain

　　使这个幻影深植入我脑海中

　　Still remains

　　萦绕盘旋不去

Within the sound of silence

　　在寂静无声的此刻

　　In restless dreams I walk alone

　　在无数不平静的梦中我茕茕独行

　　Narrow streets of cobble stone

　　行走在鹅卵石铺成狭窄街道上

　　'Neath the halo of a street lamp

　　头顶上街灯的光晕将我笼罩

　　I turned my collar to the cold and damp

　　我竖起衣领以抗御这湿冷的夜

　　When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light

　　当我的眼睛为刺眼的霓虹灯闪烁所迷时

　　That split the night

　　霓虹灯的闪烁也划破了夜空

　　And touched the sound of silence

　　打破了黑夜的沉静

　　And in the naked night I saw

　　在无遮灯照耀下我看到

　　Ten thousand people maybe more

　　人头攒动

　　People talking without speaking

　　有的人在说着无聊的话语

　　People hearing without listening

　　有的人在漫不经心的听着别人说

　　People writing songs that voices never share

　　有的人在写着那些从不会被传唱的歌

　　And no one dare

　　但没有人敢于去

　　Disturb the sound of silence

　　打破这份静默

　　"Fool" said I "you do not know"

　　我说道:"愚蠢的人啊你们不知道"

　　"Silence like a cancer grows"

　　静默会像癌细胞那样扩散

　　"Hear my words that I might teach you"

　　听我的话我才能教导你

　　"Take my arms that I might reach you"

　　抓紧我的手我才能救你

　　But my words like silent rain-drops fell

　　但是我的话却如寂静无声的雨点落下

　　And echoed in the wells of silence

　　徒然回响在沉静的井里

　　And the people bow and prayed

　　人们仍然顶礼膜拜着

　　To the neon God they made

　　自己塑造的霓虹灯神

　　And the sign flash out its warning

　　霓虹神以它闪烁的文字显出其预兆

　　In the words that it was forming

　　警告的话语渐渐成型

　　And the sign said the words of the prophers

预兆显示先知的话语

　　Are written the subway walls and tenement halls

　　已被写在地铁的墙上以及出租公寓的走廊上

　　And whispered in the sounds of silence

　　也在无声的静默中被轻声传送
