歌曲名：The Sound of Silence

歌词或简介：

The Sound of Silence
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 naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared 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.
歌词大意:沉默之聲
嗨，黑夜，我的老友 又來和你談天了 因為有一夢境悄悄地 留下種子在我夢中
這幻象深植在我的腦海裡 始終迴旋 於沉默的聲音中
獨自走在無止盡的夢裡
狹窄的鵝卵石街道 在街燈的光暈下 翻起衣領迎向寒冷濕氣 我的雙眼感到刺痛 因霓虹燈的閃爍 那撕裂了黑夜 並觸動了沉默的聲音
在赤裸的光線下我看到成千上萬的人，或許有更多 人們說話但不是交談 人們聽得見卻不傾聽 人們寫歌，總不是分享理念的歌 沒有人敢打破沉默的聲音
傻瓜！我說道：你不知道
沉默是會像癌細胞擴散的； 聽取我教你的言語，抓住我拉你的臂膀。但我說的話就像是無聲的雨滴 落入沉默的井裡發出回音
這些人又鞠躬又祈禱的 對著他們所製造的霓虹上帝膜拜 招牌上打出閃爍的警語 在這些字句中成形 招牌上寫著： 先知的預言就寫在 地下道的牆上 或是廉價公寓的門廊裡。且在沉默的聲音中低語呢喃
Simon & Garfunkel(Paul Simon和Art Garfunkel)是掘起於60年代中期的二人組合唱團，當時流行樂壇正吹起一股電子合成樂風，但Simon & Garfunkel卻堅持自然曲風，獨樹一格。El Condor Pasa(老鷹之歌)、Bridge Over Troubled Water(惡水大橋)，以及這首電影“Graduates(畢業生)”的主題曲The Sound of Silence(沉默的聲音)，均是耳熟能詳的代表作。
