　　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

　　Ten thousand people, maybe more

　　People talking without speaking

　　人们说而不言

　　People hearing without listening

　　听而不闻

　　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

　　And echoed in the wells of silence

　　鞠躬 祈祷And the sign flashed out its warning

　　And the words that it was forming

　　"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

　　and tenement halls

　　And whispered in the sound of silence."
