The Chordettes - Never on Sunday



Oh you can kiss me on a Monday
A Monday a Monday is very very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday
A Tuesday a Tuesday in fact I wish you would
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday
A Thursday a Friday and Saturday is best
But never never on a Sunday
A Sunday a Sunday 'cause that's my day of rest
Most any day you can be my guest
Any day you say but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest
Will you can make it on a bleak day
A freak day a week day why you can be my guest
But never never on a Sunday
A Sunday a Sunday 'cause as my day of rest
Most any day you can be my guest
Any day you say but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest

Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence (from The Concert in Central Park)


Hello darkness, my old friend
你好 黑暗 我的老朋友
I've come to talk with you again
我又來和你交談
Because a vision softly creeping
因為有一種幻覺正向悄悄地向我襲來
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
在我熟睡的時候留下了它的種子
And the vision that was planted in my brain
這種幻覺在我的腦海裡生根發芽
Still remains
纏繞著我
Within the sound of silence
伴隨著寂靜的聲音

In restless dreams I walked alone
在不安的夢幻中我獨自行走
Narrow streets of cobblestone
狹窄的鵝卵石街道
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
在路燈的光環照耀下
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
我豎起衣領 抵禦嚴寒和潮濕
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
一道耀眼的霓虹燈光刺入我的眼睛
That split the night
它劃破夜空
And touched the sound of silence
觸摸著寂靜的聲音

And in the naked light I saw
在炫目的燈光下
Ten thousand people, maybe more
我看見成千上萬的人
People talking without speaking
人們說而不言
People hearing without listening
聽而不聞
People writing songs that voices never share
人們創造歌曲卻唱不出聲來
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence
沒有人敢打擾這寂靜的聲音

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
我說:“傻瓜,難道你不知道
Silence like a cancer grows”
寂靜如同頑疾滋長”
Hear my words that I might teach you
聽我對你說的有益的話
Take my arms that I might reach to you
拉住我伸給你的手
But my words like silent as raindrops fell
但是我的話猶如雨滴飄落
And echoed in the wells of silence
在寂靜的水井中迴響

And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.
人們向自己創造的霓虹之神
鞠躬 祈禱And the sign flashed out its warning
神光中閃射出告誡的語句
And the words that it was forming
在字裡行間指明
And the sign said:
它告訴人們
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
預言者的話都已寫在地鐵的牆上
and tenement halls
和房屋的大廳裡
And whispered in the sound of silence."
在寂靜的聲音裡低語
