Very quietly I take my leave轻轻的我走了，
As quietly as I came here;正如我轻轻的来；
Quietly I wave good-bye我轻轻的招手，
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.作别西天的云彩。


The golden willows by the riverside那河畔的金柳
Are young brides in the setting sun;是夕阳中的新娘
Their reflections on the shimmering waves波光里的艳影，
Always linger in the depth of my heart.在我的心头荡漾。


The floatingheart growing in the sludge软泥上的青荇，
Sways leisurely under the water;油油的在水底招摇；
In the gentle waves of Cambridge在康河的柔波里，
I would be a water plant!我甘心做一条水草


That pool under the shade of elm trees那榆荫下的一潭，
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;不是清泉，是天上虹
Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds揉碎在浮藻间，
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?沉淀着彩虹似的梦。


To seek a dream?寻梦？
Just to pole a boat upstream撑一支长篙，
To where the green grass is more verdant;向青草更青处漫溯，
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight满载一船星辉，
And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight.在星辉斑斓里放歌


But I cannot sing aloud但我不能放歌，
Quietness is my farewell music;悄悄是别离的笙箫；
Even summer insects heep silence for me夏虫也为我沉默，
Silent is Cambridge tonight!沉默是今晚的康桥！


Very quietly I take my leave悄悄的我走了，
As quietly as I came here;正如我悄悄的来；
Gently I flick my sleeves我挥一挥衣袖，
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away.不带走一片云彩。
