《毕业生》歌词大意
这歌是保罗西蒙和加芬克尔唱的，后来Sarah Brightman也唱过。
1、The Sound of Silence 寂静之声
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
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence 没有人敢打扰这寂静的声音
"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 to you 拉住我伸给你的手
But my words like silent as 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 to the neon god they made. 人们向自己创造的霓虹之神鞠躬祈祷
And the sign flashed out its warning 神光中闪射出告诫的语句
And the words that it was forming 在字里行间指明
And the sign said: 它告诉人们
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls 预言者的话都已写在地铁的墙上and tenement halls 和房屋的大厅里
And whispered in the sound of silence." 在寂静的声音里低语
