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，
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。
英语原文：
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 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 duck weeds
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 can’t sing aloud
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects heap silence for me
Silent is Cambridge tonight!
Very quietly I left
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away.
