Arranged by：Stefano Marletta/Giampiero Grani

Produced by：Michael Tenisci/Stefano Marletta

Hello darkness my old friend

你好啊黑暗，我的老友

I've come to talk with you again

我又前来与你交谈

Because a vision softly creeping

幻觉再次悄无声息袭来

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

趁我熟睡之际，洒下种子深埋

And the vision that was planted in my brain

在我脑海中生根发芽

Still remains

挥散不去

Within the sound of silence

就在这寂静之声里

In restless dreams I walked alone

我独自走在不安的梦境

Narrow streets of cobblestone

狭窄的街道上是鹅卵石遍地

'Neath the halo of a street lamp

路灯闪耀，似光环笼罩

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

我拉起衣领，抵御着湿冷的环境

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

霎时霓虹灯亮起，刺痛我的眼睛

That split the night

它划破夜空

And touched the sound of silence

触碰这寂静之声的空气

People talking without speaking

想交谈甚欢却不发一言

People hearing without listening

想倾听彼此却闭耳不闻

People writing songs that voices never share

创作的歌曲是从未分享给世人的声音

And no one dared

无人胆敢

Disturb the sound of silence

搅扰这寂静之声的环境

And the people bowed and prayed

人们弯腰鞠躬，虔诚祈祷

To the neon god they made

求得自己创造的霓虹之神保佑

And the sign flashed out its warning

神已发出告诫的字句

In the words that it was forming

字里行间形成启示

And the sign said \"The words of the prophets

告诫众人，预言的话语

Are written on the subway walls

写在地铁的墙壁上

And tenement halls

写在公寓的大厅里

And whispered in the sound of silence\"

并在这寂静之声中低语
