英文歌词：

The sound of silence

Hello darkness,my old friend,

I’ve come to talk with you again,

Because a vision softly creeping,

Left its seeds while I was sleeping,

And the vision that was planted in my brain,

Still remains within the sound of silence.


In restless dreams I walked along marrow streets of cobble stone,

Beneath the halo of a street lamp,

I turned my collar to the cold and damp.

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

That split the night and touched thd sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people,maybe more.

People hearing without listening,

People writing songs that voices never share.

And no one dare disturb the sound of silence.


“Fools”saed I,

“you do not know silence like a cancer grows,

Hear my words that I might teach you,

Take my arms that I might reach you.”

But my words like silent raindrops fell,

And echoed in the walls of selence.


And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.

And the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming.

And the signs said:”

The words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls.”

And whispering in the sounds of silence.
