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

No one dared
没有人敢

Disturb the sound of silence
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 you
拉住我伸给你的手

But my words like silent 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
人们向自己创造的
