原诗与英译对照：
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。Quietly I leaveAs quietly I arrived.I quietly wave my hand to bid farewellTo the clouds in the western sky.
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 golden willow against the setting sunIs like Nature’s bride.Her charming figure on the mirroring riverFlickers in my mind’s eye.
软泥上的青荇，油油的在水底招摇；在康河的柔波里，我甘心作一枚水草！Swaying on the soft mud under waterAre weeds in dark green.I wish I could be a blade of grassDancing in this Cambridge stream!
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。The elm-shaded pond holdsNot only a pool of clear spring,But a rainbow of gentle beams.Shattered over the algae,What’s deposited underIs my rainbow dream.
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。To seek the dreamI pole a boat towards whereGrass grows thick and high.In such a gorgeous eveningWith a boat of starlight,I’d sing the songs of wind and pine.
但我不能放歌，悄悄是离别的笙箫。夏虫也为我沉默，沉默是今晚的康桥！But I can not sing,For unheard melodyIs of farewell flutes and pipesSummer insects are knowingly mute.Silent is Cambridge tonight!
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！Silently I leaveAs silently I arrived.I flick my sleeves, not to takeA wisp of clouds in the sky!
