Very quietly I take my leave  
As quietly as I came here;  
Quietly I wave good-bye  
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.  

The golden willows by the riverside  
Are young brides in the setting sun;  
Their reflections on the shimmering waves  
Always linger in the depth of my heart.  

The floatingheart growing in the sludge  
Sways leisurely under the water;  
In the gentle waves of Cambridge  
I would be a water plant!  

That pool under the shade of elm trees  
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;  
Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds  
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?  

To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream  
To where the green grass is more verdant;  
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight  
And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight.  

But I cannot sing aloud  
Quietness is my farewell music; 
Even summer insects heep silence for me  
Silent is Cambridge tonight!  

Very quietly I take my leave  
As quietly as I came here;  
Gently I flick my sleeves  
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away  

轻轻的我走了， 
正如我轻轻的来；  
我轻轻的招手， 
作别西天的云彩。  

那河畔的金柳 
是夕阳中的新娘  
波光里的艳影，
在我的心头荡漾。  

软泥上的青荇， 
油油的在水底招摇； 
在康河的柔波里， 
我甘心做一条水草  

那榆荫下的一潭， 
不是清泉，是天上虹  
揉碎在浮藻间， 
沉淀着彩虹似的梦。  

寻梦？撑一支长篙， 
向青草更青处漫溯， 
满载一船星辉， 
在星辉斑斓里放歌  

但我不能放歌， 
悄悄是别离的笙箫；  
夏虫也为我沉默， 
沉默是今晚的康桥！ 

悄悄的我走了， 
正如我悄悄的来； 
我挥一挥衣袖， 
不带走一片云彩。<
