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,

So quietly do I leave;

Waving my hand gently,

To bid farewell 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 setting sun;

Their shimmering reflections dance

In my heart forever.

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 soft mud,

Gently wave in the river's gentle waves;

In the arms of the Cam River,

I would be a weed, content to sway.

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 shade of the elms,

Is not clear spring water but the rainbow from the sky;

It is broken and scattered among the floating algae,

And dreams like rainbows settle at its bottom.

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 where the grass is greener;

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 silence is the music of parting;

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 do I leave,

Just as quietly as I came;

I wave my sleeve,

And take no cloud with me.
