Hello darkness, my old friend 妳好黑夜,我的老朋友
I've come to talk with you again 我又來與妳聊天了
Because a vision softly creeping 因為那幻覺又無聲無息地
Left its seeds while I was sleeping 在我夢裏播下種子
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains 那感覺依舊還再
With in the sound of silence 寂靜之聲
In restless dreams I walked alone 在那疲憊的夢中我獨自漫步
Narrow streets of cobble stone 在圓石鋪成的窄路上
Beneath the halo of a street lamp, 在街燈的光暈下
I turned my collar to the cold and damp 我卷起衣領擋住寒冷與潮濕
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light 當我的眼睛被氖燈的閃光刺痛時
That split the night 將夜晚分裂
And touched the sound of silence. 觸碰寂靜之聲
And in the naked light I saw 在裸光之下我看到
Ten thousand people, may be more 上萬個人,或許更多
People talking without speaking 他們不發壹語卻在交流
People hearing without listening 他們不用聆聽卻能聽到
People writing songs that voice never share 他們沒有人哼出聲來卻能寫歌
And no one dared disturb the sound of silence. 沒有人敢打破寂靜之聲
"Fools" said I, "You do not know 我說道"傻瓜們,妳們難道不知道
Silence like a cancer grows. 寂靜就像癌細胞壹樣蔓延。
Hear my words that I might teach you, 聽聽我要教妳們的話語,
Take my arms that I might reach you." 接住我要伸向妳們的手臂"
But my words like silent raindrops fell, 但我的話像寂靜下落的雨點
And echoed 帶著回響
In the wells of silence 打在寂靜的井底
And the people bowed and prayed 他們彎下腰
To the neon god they made. 向壹座發著氖光的神像祈禱
And the sign flashed out its warning 而這壹象征物發出警告
In the words that it was forming. 用它專有的語言
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets 說道"預言被寫在
Are written on the subway walls 隧道的墻壁上
And tenement halls." 在屋子的大廳裏"
And whispered in the sounds of silence. 然後用寂靜之聲呢喃著

歌評:這壹首scarborough fair是大家再熟悉不過的經典老歌了,此歌的歌詞隱含了壹些意義,
如歌名"scarborough fair"可剖解為"scar-borrow-fair",scar與fair昭示了歌者的本意
-戰爭與和平(anti-war),sage及thyme的有意延長提醒我們註意:sage同時又有-賢明,聖賢之意,
而thyme與time諧音.此歌曲恰是以壹位在戰火中犧牲的普通士兵的口吻唱出的.
這首歌曲創作於六十年代末,是奧斯卡獎影片"畢業生(the graduate,1967)"插曲之壹.
(B)I'll Always Be Right There--Michelle Branch
When you're all alone,
and you need a light,
someone to guide you through the night,
just remember that I am here,
to hold you close and dry your tears.
Oh-ooh
And just when you thought you were falling,
but you know I'll always be right there.
When you're all alone,
and you need a friend,
someone to help you to the end,
when you need someone to catch you when you fall,
I'll be there through it all.
oh-oh
Cause just when you thought you were losing,
but you know I'll always be right there.
And I'll be there through the good times,
and the bad,
and we'll be there for each other,
cause you're the best friend I've ever had.
And just when you thought you were falling,
but you know I'll always be right there.
oh-oooh whenever you need me,
I'll always be right there.

and walk around with you laughin out loud
and you like to go up to people
and tell them your cousin is somebody famous

(D)No Boundaries---Adam Lambert
Seconds hours so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment lasts forever when you feel you've lost your way
And what if my chances are already gone
I started believing that I could be wrong
But you gave me one good reason to fight and never walk away
So here I am still holding on!
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath is harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
I fought til the limit to stand on the edge
What if today is as good as it gets
Don't know where the future's heading
But nothing's gonna bring me down
I've jumped every bridge and I've run every line
I've risked being safe, I always knew why
I always knew why
So here I am still holding on!
With very step you climb another mountain
Every breath is harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
You can go higher
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
Break every rule coz there's nothing between you and your dreams
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath is harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you've almost gave up everything
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
(E)Gift Of A Friend---Demi Lovato
Sometimes You think You'll Be Find by Yourself
Cause a Dream is a Wish You Make all alone

The Beauty Of All
When You'll Open Your Heart and Believe in

Someone You Can Count On, Someone Who Cares
Besides You Where Ever You Go

From Beginning To End
When You Have a Friend
By Your Side

Shattering To The Ground
You'll, You'll Feel All Alone

And There's No signs Leading You home
You're Not Alone
The World Comes To Life
and Everything's right
From Beginning To End
When You Have a Friend
By Your Side
That Helps You To Find
The Beauty Of All
When You'll Open Your Heart and Believe In
When You Believe In
You Can Believe In
The Gift of a Friend
