Sound Of Silence-- Dana Winner

寂静之声（The SoundOf Silence）在1967年作为美国电影《毕业生》的主题歌，是20世纪60年代民歌二人组（PaulSimon and Garfunkel）Simon和Garfunkel的成名作

《寂静之声》旋律飘缓低迷，歌词充满了一种幻觉般的意境。细细听来，仿佛在诉说着年轻无助的一种宣泄。眼前似乎看到一个懵懂无知的女孩，独自一人行走在铺着鹅卵石的狭窄、清冷的小巷里，喧嚣的人群在她身后渐渐远去，前面是没有尽头的黑夜……歌曲如果说是属于民谣的话似乎太深邃，如果说随着强劲的乐曲而震荡的节奏是摇滚的话，却太细腻，音乐上它造就了类的中和体，这应该是它成功的最大原因。

Sound OfSilence -- Dana Winner

Hello darkness my old friend. 你好我的老伙伴黑暗。

I've come totalk with you again. 我又回来再和你谈谈。

Because avision softly creeping. 因为有个悄然而入的幻影

Still remains.至今仍在

Within thesound of silence ! 这沉默之声里！

In restlessdreams I walked alone. 在这些不安的梦里，我独自游荡。

Narrow streetsof cobble stone. 独行在狭窄的鹅卵石街上。

Neath the haloof a street lamp. 笼罩在街灯的昏暗光晕里。

I turned mycollar to the cold and damp. 我竖起衣领以抵御寒冷潮湿。

When my eyeswere stabbed by the flash of a neon light.突然一道虚幻的闪光刺得我睁不开眼。

That split thenight. 这闪光劈开了夜空。

Ten thousandpeople maybe more. 芸芸万人之众

People talkingwithout speaking. 他们只能无言地交谈

People writingsongs that voices never share. 他们只能谱写不能吟唱的歌曲

And no onedare. 没有一个人胆敢

Disturb thesound of silence. 打破这沉默之声。

Hear my wordsthat I might teach you. 听从我的劝导吧

Take my arms that I might reach you. 接受我的帮助吧”
