The Sound Of SiIence 寂静之声(选自《毕业生》1967).
五个十年跨度的The Sound Of SiIence,总有一些东西,会在转瞬即逝的短暂岁月里留下永恒的痕迹。40年过去,两个人站的舞台改变了,服装改变了,声音改变了,容颜改变了,但这首歌从未改变。听得出沧桑,看得到衰老,不知不觉的,就有圆滚滚的东西突然从眼角顺着脸颊滑下去了。浪费的光阴太多,从现在开始珍惜,也许还来得及。
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
人们说话却不互相交谈
People hearing without listening
人们能听却不去倾听
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 Silence like a cancer grows”
我说:“傻瓜,难道你不知道寂静如同顽疾滋长”
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 you
拉住我伸向你的手
But my words like silent raindrops fell
但是我的话犹如雨滴般飘落
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祷言
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

本来我是很反对音乐版老是顶置的
不过既然是介绍the sound of silence
那就不一样了
对我来说
惟一一首触及人灵魂的歌曲
词 曲 音 人 还有时代背景
在没有能超越他的了

最后一段的回忆杀简直犯规……

原文歌词意境深远画面感极强
中文翻译难以尽数传递
像People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening这句
才听到的时候一下觉得瞢了
直接可以去看YouTube上各类版本和评论
