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 floating heart 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 splendor of starlight.

　　But I cannot sing aloud,

　　Quietness is my farewell music;

　　Even summer insects heap 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

　　輕輕的我走了，

　　正如我輕輕的來;

　　我輕輕的招手，

　　作別西天的云彩。

　　那河畔的金柳，

　　是夕陽中的新娘;

　　波光里的艷影，

　　在我的心頭蕩漾。

　　軟泥上的青荇，

　　油油的在水底招搖;

　　在康河的柔波里，

　　我甘心做一條水草!

　　那榆蔭下的一潭，

　　不是清泉，

　　是天上虹揉碎在浮藻間，

　　沉淀著彩虹似的夢。

　　尋夢?撐一支長篙，

　　向青草更青處漫溯，

　　滿載一船星輝，

　　在星輝斑斕里放歌。

　　但我不能放歌，

　　悄悄是別離的笙簫;

　　夏蟲也為我沉默，

　　沉默是今晚的康橋。

　　悄悄的我走了，

　　正如我悄悄的來;

　　我揮一揮衣袖，

　　不帶走一片云彩。
