The Sounds of Silence é uma canção escrita pelo cantor e compositor Paul Simon e interpretada pela dupla folk Simon & Garfunkel, incluída no disco Wednesday Morning, de 1964. A música, além de ter sido o primeiro grande sucesso da dupla, tornou-se também célebre como parte da trilha sonora do filme The Graduate, de 1968, com Dustin Hoffman. No Brasil foi traduzido por A Primeira noite de um homem; em Portugal, por A primeira noite.
The Sound 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.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Trough narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
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.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Trough narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
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 deared disturb 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.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they'd made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, "the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
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 deared disturb 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.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they'd made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, "the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
