Original Lyrics
Translation in Spanish
verse
Hello darkness, my old friend
Hola oscuridad, mi vieja amiga
I've come to talk with you again
He venido a hablar contigo de nuevo
Because a vision softly creeping
Porque una visión se arrastra suavemente
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
Dejó sus semillas mientras dormía
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Y la visión que se plantó en mi mente
Still remains
Aún permanece
Within the sound of silence
Dentro del sonido del silencio
verse
In restless dreams, I walked alone
En inquietos sueños caminaba sólo
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Por estrechas calles empedradas
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
Debajo del halo de una farola
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
Giré el cuello del frío y la humedad
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
Y mis ojos fueron atravesados por el fulgor de una luz de neón
That split the night
Que partió la noche
And touched the sound of silence
Y tocó el sonido del silencio
chorus
And in the naked light, I saw
Y en su desnuda luz vi
Ten thousand people, maybe more
Diez mil personas, quizá más
People talking without speaking
Gente hablando sin decir nada
People hearing without listening
Gente oyendo sin escuchar
People writing songs that voices never shared
Personas escribiendo canciones que sus autores nunca compartieron
And no one dared
Y ninguno se atrevió
Disturb the sound of silence
A perturbar el sonido del silencio
chorus
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
"¡Tontos!", dije, "¿es que no sabes
Silence like a cancer grows
Que el silencio crece como un cáncer?
Hear my words that I might teach you
Escuchen mis palabras, puede que aprendan,
Take my arms that I might reach you"
Tomen mis brazos, puede que los alcancen"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
Pero mis palabras, como silenciosas gotas de lluvia caían
And echoed in the wells of silence
Y resonó en los pozos del silencio
verse
And the people bowed and prayed
Y la gente se inclinó, y rezó
To the neon god they made
Al Dios de neón que habían creado
And the sign flashed out its warning
Y el cartel lució su aviso
In the words that it was forming
En las palabras que formaba
Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls
Luego la señal dijo: "las palabras de los profetas están escritas en las paredes del metro
In tenement halls"
En las casas del vecindario"
And whispered in the sound of silence
Y murmuré en el sonido del silencio
Writer(s): Paul Simon
