Yesterday
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me, Oh, yesterday came suddenly. Why she had to go I don't know, She wouldn't say, I said something wrong, Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play, Now I need a place to hide away, Oh, I believe in yesterday. Why she had to go I don't know, She wouldn't say, I said something wrong, Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play, Now I need a place to hide away, Oh, I believe in yesterday,
Mm....
大意
昨天，所有烦恼似乎很遥远。 今天，烦恼仿佛就在眼前，
噢，我喜欢昨天。 猛然间我发觉我已今非昔比，
阴影笼罩着我，
噢，过去的生活是多么单纯。
我不懂她为何要走， 她也不愿告我说， 或许是我说错， 现在我渴望昨天。 昨天，爱情无忧无虑 今天，我不得不躲闪 噢，我喜欢昨天。 我不知她为何要走， 她也不愿告诉我， 或许是我说错， 现在我渴望昨天。 昨天，爱情无忧无虑， 今天，我不得不躲闪， 噢，我喜欢昨天。
呣……

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 with the sound of silence
大意：
嘿！黑夜，我的老友，我又来和你谈心了
只因一抹幻影，在我梦中播下种子
于是在脑海里生根，成长 至今仍深植于寂静之声中
In restless dreams I walk alone 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 night I saw ten thousand people may be more people talking without speaking people hearing without listening
people writing songs that voices never share No one dare disturb the sound of silence
愚人，我说，你们不知道，
在无尽的梦里，我独自徘徊在圆石狭道中
在街灯下，我竖起衣领，
以寒夜的湿冷 闪烁的霓虹灯，刺激双目 它闯开夜幕，抚摸寂静之声
在这赤裸的夜里，我见到了上万的人们
或许更多，他们交谈着，
却未出声
他们倾听着，却未闻清 他们创作歌曲，却未与人分享
"Fool" 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 rain-drops fell and echoed in the wells of silence
寂静有如癌症一样听我的话， 我来训导你抓住我，我可以碰到你 但我的忠告犹如寂静雨点之滴落，
回荡在深井里
人们打躬作揖，向他们所
And the people bowed and prayed
创造的霓虹灯（文明）祈祷

to the neon god they made and the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming and the sings said "the words of the prophets are
written on the subway walls and tenement halls" and whispered in the sounds of silence
