寂静之音(Sound of Silence)翻译

The Sound of Silence

寂静之音

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 with the sound of silence

你好，黑暗，我的老友！

我又来和你见面，跟你聊天。

一个幻象，飘然而至，

在我睡眠之际，撒下种子，

种子在我的脑海生根发芽，

幻象如音绕梁，陪伴这寂静之音。

In restless dreams I walk 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 stabbled by the flash of a neon light that split the night

and touched the sound of silence

梦境连绵，我踽踽独行，

鹅卵石小巷，蜿蜒狭长，

街灯昏暗，天气凄冷阴湿，

我竖起衣领，抵御风寒，

抬起头，我被一道霓虹灯光晃得目眩，

这光线把暗夜刺破，触及这寂静之音。

And in the naked night I saw ten thousand people may be more people talking without speaking

people hearing without listening

people writing songs that voices never share

No one dare disturb the sound of silence

在这样的裸呈的静夜，我看见成千上万的人，

人们在交头接耳，却哑然失语，

人们在竖耳倾听，却充耳不闻，

人们在写作歌词，却不跟他人分享，

人们谁也不敢，惊扰这寂静之音。

"Fool" 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 rain-drops fell

and echoed in the wells of silence

别傻了！我忍不住一声呐喊——

难道你们不知道么，寂静像癌细胞滋生扩散，听我的话，也许我能教你出水火，

抓住我的手，也许我能拽起你们。

我的声音，像无声的雨滴，

回荡缭绕，消失在这寂静的深井。

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 whispered in the sounds of silence''

人们屈膝匍匐顶礼膜拜，

向霓虹大帝喃喃祈祷，

于是霓虹大帝闪现神迹警示

警示语字字逼真，渐行渐近——

“先知把真理涂在地铁车站的墙壁，

刻在廉租房的走廊，

真理无言，沉沦在这寂静之音......”
