The Sound Of Silence

The Sound Of Silence - 区瑞强 (Albert Au)

Hello darkness my old friend

嗨 暗夜 我的老朋友

I've come to talk with you again

我又来和你聊天了

Because a vision softly creeping

因为幻境悄悄袭来

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

在我的睡梦中埋下种子

And the vision that was planted

脑海中的幻象生根发芽

In my brain still remains

仍在我脑海中萦绕

Within the sound of silence

在这寂静之声中

In restless dreams I walked along

在辗转难眠的梦中我独自漫步

Narrow streets of cobble stone

在铺着鹅卵石的羊肠小道上

Beneath the halo of a street lamp

在路灯昏黄的灯光下

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

我把衣领立起来抵挡冰冷潮湿

When my eyes were stabbed

当我的双眼

By the flash of a neon light

被闪烁的霓虹灯所刺伤

That split the light

撕裂了夜

And touched the sound of silence

然后触碰到了寂静之声

And in the naked light I saw

在茫茫夜幕下 我看到

Ten thousand people maybe more

成千上万的人们

People talking without speaking

人们说而不言

People hearing without listening

人们听而不闻

People writing songs that voices never share

人们谱写无人吟唱的乐章

And no one dare

但是无人敢

Disturb the sound of silence

打破这寂静之声

\"Fool\" said I,\"You do not know

我说 愚蠢的人们啊 你们不知道

Silence like a cancer grows

寂静就像顽疾滋长

Hear my words that I might teach you

倾听我的言语 我可以教诲你

Take my arms that I might reach you\"

抬起我的臂膀 我可以触到你

But my words like silent raindrops fell

但我的言语就像寂静雨点簌簌滑落

And echoed in the walls of silence

在这寂静之井中回荡

And the people bowed and prayed

人们叩首祈祷

To the neon god they made

向着他们所信仰的光辉的神朝拜
