Say goodbye to Cambridge again

Say goodbye to Cambridge again

-Xu Zhimo

I left quietly;

I left quietly,

Just as I came here quietly;

When I came softly

I quietly waved goodbye.

I waved gently,

To the rosy clouds in the western sky.

Say goodbye to the western clouds.

Golden willow by the river

Golden willow by the river,

Is a young bride in the sunset;

Is the bride in the sunset;

Their reflections in the waves.

Shadows in the waves,

Always haunting my heart.

Ripple in my heart.

A floating heart growing in the mud

Green grass on the soft mud,

Swing leisurely underwater;

Oily, swaying at the bottom of the water;

In the soft waves of Cambridge

In the gentle waves of He Kang River,

I will be a water plant!

I would like to be an aquatic plant!

The pool in the shade of elm trees

A pool in the shade of elm trees,

It is not water, but a rainbow in the sky;

Not a clear spring, but a rainbow in the sky;

Break into pieces in duckweed

Crushed between floating algae,

Is it the precipitation of rainbow-like dreams?

Precipitate a rainbow-like dream.

To dream? Just to prop up the boat and go upstream

Looking for dreams? Lift a long pole,

Go to a greener place;

Back to greener grass;

Or make the boat full of stars

Full of stars,

Sing loudly under the starlight.

Play songs in a starry place.

But I can't sing loudly.

But I can't play songs,

Silence is my farewell music;

Quiet is a farewell flute;

Even summer insects pile up silence for me.

Summer insects are also silent for me,

Silence is Cambridge tonight!

Silence is Cambridge tonight!

I left quietly.

I left quietly,

Just as I came here quietly;

Just as I came quietly;

I gently waved my sleeve.

I waved my sleeve,

I won't take away a cloud.

Don't take away a cloud.
