輕輕的我走了 正如我輕輕的來
我輕輕的招手 作別西天的雲彩
那河畔的金柳 是夕陽中的新娘
波光裏的豔影 在我心頭蕩漾
軟泥上的青荇 油油的在水底招搖
在康河的柔波裏 我甘心作一條水草
那榆蔭下的一潭 不是清泉是天上的虹
揉碎在浮藻間 沉澱彩虹似的夢
尋夢 撐支長篙 向青草更青處漫溯
滿載一船星輝 在星輝斑爛裡放歌
但我不能放歌 悄悄是別離的笙簫
夏蟲也為我沉默 沉默是今晚的康橋
悄悄的我走了 正如我悄悄的來
我揮一揮衣袖 不帶走一片雲彩
Let's translate this. I think jasper222 and I have taken a crack at it in an earlier post.

Gently I walked, just like my gently coming,
my gently beckoning, makes farewell speech the Western Paradise cloud.
That river bank golden willow tree, is in the setting sun bride.
In the wave light 豔 the shade, ripples in my heart.
On muck blue xing, glossy in under water free.
In the Kang river roubo in, I make a water plant willingly,
under a that siberian elm shade deep pool, is not the spring is the space rainbow,
breaks up by rubbing in floats between the algae, the precipitation rainbow resembles dream.
Seeks the dream, supports a long punting pole, is bluer to the green grass place inundates traces.
A full load ship star splendor, flares rottenly in the star in sings in a loud voice.
But I cannot sing in a loud voice, is quietly the Sheng Xiao which leaves depart.
The summer insect also silences for me, the silence is the tonight Kang bridge.
Quietly I walked, just like I quietly.
I wield the sleeves of a dress, does not carry off clouds.

Funny stuff. We can do better than this.
I am not a literature or poetry major, and in fact I was pretty bad at it when I was in school. Anyway my interpretation of this poem is that the author loved what he saw previously (?) so he revisited that place to re-live its good memory perhaps?
When he mentioned "西天" I assume he meant some place in the western world (USA?), and when he left he was disappointed that he could not bring "康橋" with him by saying "我揮一揮衣袖 不帶走一片雲彩" so he moved on.
Oh well, at least I tried @_@
let's translate the poem into English now that we understand what it means.
《再別康橋》是徐志摩膾炙人口的新詩。1928年秋天，作者最後一次重訪英國劍橋，乘船返回中國，途經中國南海時，把劍橋的景色和緬懷之情融入詩中，表達告別劍橋的淡淡哀愁。

Uh, so I was close...oh well, I didn't know he went to Cambridge. No wonder it said 康橋...
so no one wants to translate it?
let's do it line by line.
I came by like a breeze,
and I left like a breeze;
I waved my hand to say goodbye to the gorgeous western skies;

Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again --- by Xu Zhimo
再别康桥 徐志摩
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
I saw that online. But I think the translation is a bit awkward.
