Because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping.

因為在我熟睡的時候，一個幻象輕輕地爬了過來，留下了它的種子。

And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains within the sound of silence.

在我的大腦中植入的願景，依然留在寂靜的聲音中。

In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone.

在不安的夢中，我獨自走在鵝卵石鋪成的狹窄街道上。

Beneath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp.

在路燈的光暈下，我把衣領轉向寒冷和潮溼。

When my eyes were stared by the flash of a neon light, it split the night and touched the sound of silence.

霓虹燈的閃爍瞪大了我的眼睛，它劈開了黑夜，觸動了寂靜的聲音。

And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people maybe more.

在赤裸裸的燈光下，我看到了上萬人，也許更多。

People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening.

人們說而不講，人們聽而不聽。

People writing songs that voices never shared.

人們創作的歌曲，聲音從未分享過。

No one dared disturb the sound of silence.

沒有人敢打擾這寂靜的聲音。

Fools say I do not know, silence like a cancer grows.

傻瓜說我不知道，沉默就像癌細胞在生長。

Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you.

聆聽我的話語，讓我教導你；抓住我的手臂，讓我觸及你。

But my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence.

但我的話像無聲的雨點落下來，在寂靜的井中迴盪。

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

人們向他們創造的霓虹燈神鞠躬祈禱。

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

牌子上閃爍著警告的字樣。

And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.

牌子上說，先知的話都寫在地鐵的牆壁上。

Tenement halls whispered the sounds of silence.

貧民區的大廳裡低聲傳出寂靜的聲音。

Thanks for watching!
