Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again

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

再别康桥

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。

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。

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!

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。

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。

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。

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。
