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 splendour of starlight.

　　寻梦?撑一支长蒿，

　　向青草更青处漫溯，

　　满载一船星辉，

　　在星辉斑斓里放歌。

　　But I cannot sing aloud

　　Quietness is my farewell music;

　　Even summer insects help silence for me

　　Silent is Cambridge tonight!

　　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!

　　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

　　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。
