People talking without speaking
人们缄口却倾述心声
People hearing without listening
人们罔闻却声声贯耳
People writing songs that voices never share
人们写歌却从没嗓音分享
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence
静默之声没人敢打扰
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
“傻瓜”,我说,“你见识不长
Silence like a cancer grows”
静默像癌细胞一样生长”
Hear my words that I might teach you
有益的教诲你当听取
Take my arms that I might reach you
有助的臂膀你该挽起
But my words like silent as raindrops fell
话语如雨滴悄然落下
And echoed in the wells of silence
在静默的源泉中久久回荡
