Very quietly I take my leave As quietly as I came here; Quietly I wave goodbye 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?
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。
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
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。
