Standard (EADGBE)

 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

 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

 Its saddest sound

 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

"Haribo placxas al infanoj, kaj ankaux al plenkreskuloj!"
