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。

Farewell, Cambridge,

As quietly as I came,

I wave my hand,

Saying goodbye to the western clouds.

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。

The golden willows by the riverside,

Are brides in the sunset;

Their shimmering reflections dance

In the ripples of my heart.

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！

The green water plants on the soft mud,

Waving leisurely in the water;

In the gentle waves of the River Cam,

I would be a weed!

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。

The pool under the elm shade,

Is not clear spring water, but a fragment of sky's rainbow;

It is broken among the floating algae,

And sinks into a dream like the rainbow.

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。

Seeking dreams? Row with a long pole,

To the greener pastures ahead;

Load a boat full of starlight,

And sing in the dazzling starlight.

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！

But I cannot sing,

For the silence is the flute of farewell;

Even summer insects keep silent for me,

Silence is tonight's Cambridge!

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。

Quietly, I leave,

Just as I quietly arrived;

I wave my sleeve,

And take no cloud with me.
