This is another song that will never be forgotten: The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel. They were a very famous duo in the 1960s and 70s. And this song was one of their most important hits. Listen, complete the lyricsand translate into a "proper" Spanish.
Hello darkness, my old ________, I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was _____________, And the __________ that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. In restless ___________ I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my __________ were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence.
And in the _____________ light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that ___________ never share And no one dare 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 ________________ fell, And echoed In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed To the neon ________ 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 ___________ walls And tenement halls." And whisper'd in the sounds of silence
