再来一首比较让人熟知的,同样的二人组合,同一部电影的插曲:

The Sounds of Silence
Hello darkness, my old friend,
暗夜,我的老友
I've come to talk with you again,
我又来找你聊聊了
Because a vision softly creeping,
因为有个异象轻轻爬过
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
趁我睡著时偷偷留下了种籽
And the vision that was planted in my brain
而这个种在我脑海里的异象
Still remains
还留存著
Within the sound of silence.
在沈默之声里
In restless dreams I walked alone
躁动的梦中我独行
Narrow streets of cobblestone
在狭窄街道的圆石路上
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
街灯渲出的光晕将我笼罩
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
夜的溼冷让我竖起衣领
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
刺痛我的双眼 闪亮的霓虹灯光
That split the night
划破了夜空
And touched the sound of silence.
也触动了沈默之声
And in the naked light I saw
在裸灯的照亮中我看见
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
上万的人们,或许更多
People talking without speaking,
他们说而无语
People hearing without listening,
他们听而无闻
People writing songs that voices never share
他们写下的歌曲 无从分享
And no one dared
而从来无人敢于
Disturb the sound of silence.
惊扰那沉默之声
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
“愚人啊”我说,“你们不知道
Silence like a cancer grows.
沉默像个癌细胞那样蔓延
Hear my words that I might teach you,
倾听我 好让我教你
Take my arms that I might reach you.
紧握我的手 好让我救你”
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
但我的话语像沉默的雨点那样 掉落
And echoed
回荡在
In the wells of silence.
沉默的深井里。
And the people bowed and prayed
人们虔诚地跪拜祷告
To the neon god they made.
自己手造的霓虹神像
And the sign flashed out its warning,
然而讯息已经闪现
In the words that it was forming.
在慢慢成形的话语里
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
讯息说著:先知的话语是写在地铁的墙上
And tenement halls.
以及出租公寓的大厅里
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence
也轻声细语在各种沈默之声里
