轻轻的我走了

　　Very quietly I take my leave

　　正如我轻轻的来

　　As quitely I came here

　　我轻轻的招手

　　Quitely I wave good-bye

　　作别西天的云彩

　　To the rosy clouds in the western sky

　　那河畔的金柳

　　The golden willows by the riverside

　　是夕阳中的新娘

　　Are young brides in the setting sun

　　波光里的艳影

　　Their reflections on the shimmering waves在我的心头荡漾

　　Always linger in the depth of my heart

　　软泥上的青荇

　　The floatingheart growing in the sludge

　　油油的在水底招摇

　　Sways leisurely under the water

　　在康河的柔波里

　　In the gentle waves of Cambridge

　　我甘心做一条水草

　　I would be a water plant

　　那榆荫下的一潭

　　That pool under the shade of elm trees

　　不是清泉，是天上虹

　　Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky揉碎在浮藻间

　　Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds

　　沉淀着彩虹似的梦

　　Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream

　　寻梦? 撑一支长篙

　　To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream向青草更青处漫溯

　　To where the green grass is more verdant

　　满载一船星辉

　　Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight在星辉斑斓里放歌

　　And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight但我不能放歌

　　But I cannot sing aloud

　　悄悄是别离的笙箫

　　Quietness is my farewell music

　　夏虫也为我沉默

　　Even summer insects heep silence for me

　　沉默是今晚的康桥

　　Silent is Cambridge tonight

　　悄悄的我走了

　　Very quietly I take my leave

　　正如我悄悄的来

　　As quietly as I came here

　　我挥一挥衣袖

　　Gently I flick my sleeves

　　不带走一片云彩

　　Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away
