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，是天上的虹　　揉碎在浮藻间，　　沉淀着彩虹似的梦。

　　寻梦？撑一支长篙（gāo），　　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。

　　英文版本改编　　Very quietly 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。
