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 alone,
narrow streets of cobblestone.
‘Neath 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 the sound of silence.
And in the *** light I saw
ten thousand people maybe more:
people talking without speaking,
people hearing without listening,
people writing songs that voices never share.
No one dare disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools", said 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 wells of silence.
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 sign said,
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls,
and tenement halls,
and whispered in the sounds of silence."
《寂静之声》（电影《毕业生Graduate》插曲）：在这首节奏轻快的歌曲里，演唱者保罗西蒙和阿特加芬克尔（Art Garfunkel）带着我们一起在寂静的黑暗中徘徊、发问、惆怅和迷茫，一起淡淡地忧伤。歌曲让人觉得，人与人之间的隔阂和冷漠比黑夜的阴暗和冷寂更可怕。
