Clara e Il Volo a Sanremo 2025, il testo della cover “The sound of silence”

Nella serata del festival di Sanremo di venerdì 14 febbraio, dedicata alle cover, la cantante di Varese Clara Soccini, in arte Clara, si esibirà sulle note della celebre The sound of silence, accompagnata dal trio Il Volo.

The sound of silence di Simon & Garfunkel permetterà a Clara di mostrare un diverso lato della sua voce e della propria personalità, grazie anche al supporto di Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto e Gianluca Ginoble, che vinsero il Festival di Sanremo esattamente dieci anni fa e con i quali la giovane artista si è già esibita qualche mese fa all’Arena di Verona in occasione di Tutti per Uno, l’evento-concerto in cui il trio ha festeggiato i 15 anni di carriera.

The sound of silence – Simon & Garfunkel

(1964, Paul Simon – Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Too Lost LLC)

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

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 shared

And no one dared

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 made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In the words that it was forming

Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls

In tenement halls"

And whispered in the sound of silence
