I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would. If I could, I surely would
I’d rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would, If I only could, I surely would
我寧可是隻麻雀，也不願做一隻蝸牛
沒錯，如果可以，我會這樣選擇
我寧可是支鐵鎚，也不願是一根鐵釘
沒錯，如果真的可以，我會這樣選擇
Away, I’d rather sail away
Like a swan that’s here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
It’s saddest sound
我寧願遠走高飛
像飛來又飛走的天鵝
一個人如果被束縛在地上
他會向世界發出最悲傷的聲音
發出最悲傷的聲音
I’d rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, If I could, I surely would
I’d rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, If I only could, I surely would
我寧可是座森林，也不願是一條街道
沒錯，如果可以，我會這樣選擇
我寧可感受大地就在腳底下
沒錯，如果真的可以，我會這樣選擇
