电影一开始，主人公本杰明脸部特写。达斯廷·霍夫曼忧郁的气质，大睁的双眼皮空洞眼睛，虽然面部完全不动声色，但你分明深切地感到他的麻木扭曲。《the sound of silence》就象在他的眼神里，峭壁般耸立的鼻梁旁，年轻而呆滞的脸部皮肤上响起。歌曲静静响起。这正是本杰明燥乱、彷徨不安的内心里近乎虚空的寂静之声。
《the sound of silence》歌词：
Hello darkness, my old friend
你好 黑暗 我的老朋友
I've come to talk with you again
我又来和你交谈
Because a vision softly creeping
因为有一种幻觉正向悄悄地向我袭来
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
在我熟睡的时候留下了它的种子
And the vision that was planted in my brain
这种幻觉在我的脑海里生根发芽
Still remains
缠绕着我
Within the sound of silence
伴随着寂静的声音
In restless dreams I walked alone
在不安的梦幻中我独自行走
Narrow streets of cobblestone
狭窄的鹅卵石街道
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
在路灯的光环照耀下
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
我竖起衣领 抵御严寒和潮湿
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
一道耀眼的霓虹灯光刺入我的眼睛
That split the night
它划破夜空
And touched the sound of silence
触摸着寂静的声音
And in the naked light I saw
在炫目的灯光下
Ten thousand people, maybe more
我看见成千上万的人
People talking without speaking
人们说而不言
People hearing without listening
听而不闻
People writing songs that voices never share
人们创造歌曲却唱不出声来
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence
没有人敢打扰这寂静的声音
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
我说：“傻瓜，难道你不知道
Silence like a cancer grows”
寂静如同顽疾滋长”
Hear my words that I might teach you
听我对你说的有益的话
Take my arms that I might reach to you
拉住我伸给你的手
But my words like silent as raindrops fell
但是我的话犹如雨滴飘落
And echoed in the wells of silence
在寂静的水井中回响
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.
人们向自己创造的霓虹之神
鞠躬 祈祷And the sign flashed out its warning
神光中闪射出告诫的语句
And the words that it was forming
在字里行间指明
And the sign said:
它告诉人们
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
预言者的话都已写在地铁的墙上
and tenement halls
和房屋的大厅里
And whispered in the sound of silence."
在寂静的声音里低语
第二首歌《Scarborough fair》响起时剧情已进入本杰明与尼恩的相爱阶段，保罗西蒙和拍档几十年来响遍世界的美妙和声。事情暴露后，本杰明悄悄目送尼恩远去，眼睛里有了从没有过的坚定神情，至少他已知道他想要的是什么。歌曲继续响着，本的红色跑车在自由自在的高速公路上飞驰，本前往尼恩的学校。在喷池边坐着，脸上有柔和的期待痕迹。本杰明追着尼恩的公车，在车上与她搭讪，使他第一次看起来象个二十一岁的男孩子，有点赖皮。尼恩与男友约会双双离去，〈Scarborough fair>再度响起，尝到一种失去的滋味。
《Scarborough fair》歌词：
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
您去过斯卡布罗集市吗?
Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme
芜荽,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香
Remember me to one who lives there
代我向那儿的一位姑娘问好
She once was a true love of mine
她曾经是我的爱人。
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
叫她替我做件麻布衣衫
(Oh the side of a hill in the deep forest green)?
(绿林深处山刚旁)
Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme
芜荽,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香
(Tracing of sparrow on the snow crested brown)
(在白雪封顶的褐色山上追逐雀儿)
Without no seams nor needle work
上面不用缝口，也不用针线
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
(大山是山之子的地毯和床单)
Then she`ll be ture love of main
她就会是我真正的爱人。
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
(熟睡中不觉号角声声呼唤)
Tell her to find me an acre of land
叫她替我找一块地
(On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves)
(从小山旁几片小草叶上)
Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme
芜荽,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香
(Washes the grave with silvery tears)
(滴下的银色泪珠冲刷着坟茔)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
就在咸水和大海之间
(A soldier cleans and publishes a gun)
(士兵擦拭着他的枪)
Then she`ll be a true love of mine
她就会是我真正的爱人。
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
叫她用一把皮镰收割
(War bells blazing in scarlet battalion)
(战火轰隆，猩红的枪弹在狂呼)
Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme
芜荽,鼠尾草,迷迭香和百里香
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
(将军们命令麾下的士兵杀戮)
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
将收割的石楠扎成一束
(And to fight for a cause they`ve long ago forgotten)
(为一个早已遗忘的理由而战)
Then she`ll be a true love of mine
她就会是我真正的爱人。
