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。

The Gentle Departure from Cambridge

Gently I go,

Just as I came gently;

I wave my hand lightly,

Farewelling the clouds in the western sky.

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 Willow by the Riverbank

The golden willow by the riverside,

Is the bride in the setting sun;

Its shimmering reflection,

Dances gently in 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 Waterweed in Soft Mud

The waterweed in the soft mud,

Swings freely in the water;

In the gentle waves of the Cam River,

I am content to be a blade of waterweed!

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 Elms

The pool under the elms,

Is not a clear spring, but a rainbow from the sky;

Scattered among the floating algae,

It holds dreams like rainbows.

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。

Dream Seeking? Row with a Long Paddle,

Rowing toward greener pastures;

Full of starlight,

Singing 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,

Quietly fades the music of farewell;

Even summer insects are 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。

Gently I leave,

As gently as I arrived;

I wave my sleeve,

Not taking a single cloud with me.
