Singer: Simon And Garfunkel

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said: "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence..."
And the people bowed and prayed
Handmade neon God.
And the sign flashed its warning
And formed into words.
And the sign reads: "the words of the prophets
Inscribed on the walls of the underground
And in the hallways of apartment buildings,
And whisper is posted in the sound of silence..."

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
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
Fools, ' I said. - You don't know:
Silence spreads like a tumor.
Listen to my words, and I can teach you.
Take my hands, and I will be able to join you.
But my words, like a silent rain drops fell
And echoed
The source of silence.

Hello, darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
Darkness, my friend - Hey!
What you tell me in response?
The vision seen in a dream
Seeds germinated in me.
And the way that carefully I tried to forget
I am left with
Sound of silence...


Simon And GarfunkelThe Sound of SilenceГрустные quotes

Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity.
Night, I'll be back to sing their songs
And pretend that I don't need more.
But the thoughts come back to me
In the shadows of everyday life.

My life is made of patterns
That can scarcely be controlled.
My life consists of schemes,
Which did not easily observed.

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
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.
And nakedness in the dim lights
I saw thousands of people
People silently speaking,
Deaf, but rumors trusted.
Writing songs that no one sang,
Who did not dare
Disturb the sound of silence.
