Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come with talk with you again 你好黑暗，我的老朋友，我又来到了议论着你

Because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping 因为有一种幻觉悄悄来临，留下了它的种子在我熟睡

And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains ，这是铭刻在了我的大脑视觉，仍

Within the sound of silence 在寂静的声音

   

In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone 在不安的梦幻中我独自行走，狭窄的鹅卵石街道

Neath the halo of a streetlamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp 尼斯街灯的光晕，我竖起衣领抵御严寒和潮湿

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light, split the night 当我的眼睛被霓虹灯的闪烁刺伤，分裂夜

And touched the sound of silence 触摸着寂静的声音

   

And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people, maybe more 而在炫目的灯光下，我看到， 10000人，也许更多

People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening 人们说而不言，听而不闻

People writing songs that voices never shared, and no one dared 人们编写的声音从来没有共享的歌曲，也没有人敢

To stir the sound of silence 搅拌寂静之声

   

Fool, said I, you do not know, silence, like a cancer, grows 傻瓜，我说，你不知道，沉默，如癌症，增长

Hear my words and I might teach you, take my arms then I might reach you 听到我的话，我会教你，把我的胳膊，然后我会找到你

But my words, like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence 但是我的话，就像无声的雨滴飘落，而回荡在寂静的水井

   

And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they'd made 磕头祷告的霓虹之神的人，他们就做

And the sign flashed its warning in the words that it was forming 和符号闪烁的警告中的话，它是形成

And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls 和符号表示先知的话都写在地铁的墙上

And tenement halls, and whispered in the sounds of silence 和唐厅，低声在寂静的声音
