English:
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 floatingheart 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 splendour of starlight.

　But I cannot sing aloud
　Quietness is my farewell music;
　Even summer insects heep 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

Chinese:
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。
