I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail

我宁可是只麻雀，也不愿做一只蜗牛

Yes I would. If I could, I surely would

没错，如果可以，我会这样这样选择

I’d rather be a hammer than a nail

我宁可是支铁锤，也不愿是一根铁钉

Yes I would, If I only could, I surely would

没错，如果真的可以，我会这样选择

Away, I’d rather sail away

我愿航行到远方

Like a swan that’s here and gone

像来了又去的天鹅

A man gets tied up to the ground

一个人如果被束缚在地上

He gives the world its saddest sound

他会向世界发出最悲伤的声音

It’s saddest sound

最悲伤的声音

I’d rather be a forest than a street

我宁可是座森林，也不愿是一条小路

Yes I would, If I could, I surely would

没错，如果可以，我会这样选择

I’d rather feel the earth beneath my feet

我宁可感受大地就在你的脚下

Yes I would, If I only could, I surely would

没错，如果真的可以，我会这样选择

Away,I’d rather sail away

远航，我想要远航

Like a swan that’s here and gone

像一只天鹅四处飘荡

A man gets tied up to the ground

如果被束缚在地上

He gives the world its saddest sound

听到的只会是最悲伤的声音

Its saddest sound

最悲伤的声音
