Rule number one: occasionally I am a cloud in the sky,

An accidental shadow is on your heart.

Don't be surprised,

Or too complacent;

In an instant, I will disappear without a trace.

We met in the dark sea,

You are on your way, and I am on my way.

Remember, if you like,

Or, better yet, forget.

The light exchanged in this encounter.

once in a while

I am a cloud in the sky.

Occasionally projected in your heart.

You don't have to be surprised.

Not to mention being lucky.

It disappeared in an instant.

You and I met in the dark sea

You have yours.

I have my direction.

It's good that you remember.

You'd better forget

The light that shines on each other at this intersection.

Part two: Farewell to Cambridge. I left quietly.

Just as I came here quietly;

I quietly waved goodbye.

To the rosy clouds in the western sky.

Golden willow by the river

Is a young bride in the sunset;

Their reflections in the waves.

Always haunting my heart.

A floating heart growing in the mud

Swing leisurely underwater;

In the soft waves of Cambridge

I will be a water plant!

The pool in the shade of elm trees

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

Break into pieces in duckweed

Is it the precipitation of a rainbow-like dream?

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

Go to a greener place;

Or make the boat full of stars

Sing loudly under the starlight.

But I can't sing loudly.

Silence is my farewell music;

Even summer insects pile up silence for me.

Silence is Cambridge tonight!

I left quietly.

Just as I came here quietly;

I gently waved my sleeve.

I won't take away a cloud.

Say goodbye to Cambridge again

I left quietly,

When I came softly;

I waved gently,

Say goodbye to the western clouds.

Golden willow by the river,

Is the bride in the sunset;

Shadows in the waves,

Ripple in my heart.

Green grass on the soft mud,

Oily, swaying at the bottom of the water;

In the soft waves of Cambridge,

I would like to be an aquatic plant!

A pool in the shade of elm trees,

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

Crushed between floating algae,

Precipitate a rainbow-like dream.

Looking for dreams? Lift a long pole,

Back to greener grass;

Full of stars,

Play a song under the starlight.

But I can't play songs,

Quietly, this is a parting Xiao Sheng;

Summer insects are also silent for me,

Silence is Cambridge tonight!

Quietly, I'm leaving,

Just as I came quietly;

I waved my sleeve,

Don't take away a cloud.
