Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again

Very quietly I take my leaveAs quietly as I came here;Quietly I wave good-byeTo the rosy clouds in the western sky.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。 The golden willows by the riversideAre young brides in the setting sun;Their reflections on the shimmering wavesAlways linger in the depth of my heart.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。 The floatingheart growing in the sludgeSways leisurely under the water;In the gentle waves of CambridgeI would be a water plant!软泥上的青荇，油油的在水底招摇；在康桥的柔波里，我甘做一条水草！ That pool under the shade of elm treesHolds not water but the rainbow from the sky;Shattered to pieces among the duckweedsIs the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?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。 To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstreamTo where the green grass is more verdant;Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlightAnd 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 aloudQuietness is my farewell music;Even summer insects help silence for meSilent 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 leaveAs quietly as I came here;Gently I flick my sleevesNot 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。-- November 6, 1928——1928年11月6日
