Sound of Silence

sound of silence　　（Simon and Garfunkel　）

 Hello darkness, my old friend

I’ve come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping　　忍び寄り（静かに＋はい回る）　　　

Left its seeds while I was sleeping　種　　　

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone　休むことのない（落ち着かない）

Narrow streets of cobblestone　　　　敷石の狭い通り

Neath the halo of a street lamp　　　街灯の光の輪の下で

I turned my collar to the cold and dame 襟を立てた

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light   つき刺されたとき

That split the night　　夜を引き裂く　

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　聴かれることのない声　　　　　　　　

And no one dare disturb the sound of silence.　立ち向かう＋邪魔する              

“Fools” said I, “You do not know Silence like a cancer grows”　癌のような

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　　　井戸

And the people bowed and prayed　　頭を下げ祈った

To the neon god they made.

And the sign flashed out its warning.

In the words that it was forming　はっきりと書かれた

And the signs said.”The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And

tenement halls.　お告げ　　　　　　　預言者

And whisper’d in The Sounds of Silence.
