Silence Is Golden
“Silence is Golden” is a song co-written by Bob Gaudio of the American rock band, The Four Seasons, with Bob Crewe. It was released as a B-side to the hit song “Rag Doll,” in 1964.

The Tremeloes also recorded an Italian-language version, E in silenzio.
Gary Puckett & The Union Gap released a cover version of the song.

Lyrics
Oh! Don’t it hurt deep inside? To see someone do something to her Oh! Don’t it pain to see someone cry? Oh! Especially when someone is her
*Silence is golden But my eyes still see Silence is golden, golden But my eyes still see* Talking is cheap, people follow like sheep Even though there is no where to go How could she tell he deceived her so well Pity she’ll be the last one to know How many times will she fall for his lies? Should I tell her or should I keep cool And if I try I know she’d say I lied Mind your business, don’t hurt her, you fool |
內心很痛苦吧? 看到有人對她做了那種事 看到別人哭泣,很難受吧? 尤其受傷的人是她
沉默是金 但我還是看見了 沉默是金 但我還是看見了 街談巷議,人們像綿羊般順從 即使無處可去 她怎曉得他會如此欺騙她 可憐的是她會是最後一個知道的 她還要被他的謊言傷害幾次? 我該告訴她?還是保持冷靜? 如果我說了,她會認為我在撒謊 少管閒事,別傷害她了,傻瓜 |
