　　歌詞：

　　Hello darkness, my old friend

　　哈羅黑暗，我的老夥計

　　I've come to talk with you again

　　我又來和你海闊天空神聊

　　Because a vision softly creeping

　　因為有個影子悄悄潛入

　　Left its seeds while I was sleeping

　　趁我熟睡埋下了它的種子

　　And the vision that was planted in my brain

　　這影子根植於我的大腦裡

　　Still remain

　　至今還留在

　　within the sound of silence

　　靜默之聲的地盤中

　　In restless dreams I walked alone

　　在不安的夢境中我獨自遊蕩

　　Narrow streets of cobblestone

　　鵝卵石的街道狹窄幽長

　　Neath the halo of a street lamp

　　在一盞街燈的光暈下

　　I turned my collar to the cold and damp

　　我豎起衣領抵擋寒冷潮溼

　　When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

　　就在我的眼睛被一盞閃爍的霓虹燈刺穿的同時

　　That split the night

　　光芒劃破了夜空

　　And touched the sound of silence

　　觸動了靜默之聲

　　And in the naked light I saw

　　在孱弱的燭光中我看到

　　Ten thousand people, maybe more

　　成千上萬的人們，或許更多

　　People talking without speaking

　　人們緘口卻傾述心聲

　　People hearing without listening

　　人們閉聽卻聲聲貫耳

　　People writing songs that voices never share

　　人們寫歌卻從沒嗓音分享

　　And no one dare disturb the sound of silence

　　靜默之聲沒人敢打擾

　　"Fools" said I, "You do not know

　　“傻瓜透頂”，我說，“你見識不長

　　Silence like a cancer grows”

　　靜默像癌症一樣生長”

　　Hear my words that I might teach you

　　有益的教誨你當聽取

　　Take my arms that I might reach to you

　　有助的臂膀你該挽起

　　But my words like silent as raindrops fell

　　話語如雨滴悄然落下

　　And echoed in the wells of silence

　　在靜默的源泉中久久迴盪

　　And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.

　　人們向自己塑造的霓虹神靈膜拜祈禱

　　And the sign flashed out its warning

　　告示牌上閃爍出神靈的警告

　　And the words that it was forming

　　若隱若現顯示成行

　　And the sign said:

　　告示牌上這樣寫道：

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

　　“先賢們的箴言塗鴉在地鐵的大牆

　　and tenement halls

　　以及公寓走廊上

　　And whispered in the sound of silence."

　　在靜默之聲中流傳遠揚
