About "Free As A Bird"
From the original Beatles Album "Antology 1" (1995)
"Free as a Bird" was originally composed by John Lennon though he never completed it. The original Lennon recording was made circa 1977 in New York City. Yoko Ono gave a basic recording of the unfinished music to the remaining Beatles (Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr) who reunited to finalize and record the completed song.
The Beatles' overdubs and production were recorded between February and March 1994 in Sussex, England. According to interviews, the group treated the song as though Lennon had gone on holiday and had left the song for them to complete. The original demo had to be stretched and cleaned up, as Lennon's voice was notably shaky and slightly out of time.
The song features a classic Beatles arrangement, layered with drums, guitars (acoustic and electric), bass guitar, piano, and harmonized Beatle voices.
It ends with a slightly psychedelic coda including a strummed ukulele (an instrument for which McCartney and Harrison have expressed fondness) and the backward voice of John Lennon. The message, when played backward, is "Turned out nice again", which was the catch-phrase of George Formby, whom Harrison and Lennon admired. This line has been noticed by many fans as it sounds like it is saying 'made by John Lennon'. Most fans believed this was intended to be the case, until it was revealed it was in fact simply the phrase 'Turned out nice again' being played backwards. According to McCartney, the result was unintentional and was discovered only after the surviving Beatles completed the single and reviewed the result. [From Wikipedia]

it's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
that seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...
Free as a bird,
like the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Always made me feel so free.
Free as a bird.
It's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.

Libre como un pájaro,
es la segunda cosa que quiero ser
Libre como un pájaro
Doméstico, doméstico y sediento
Como un pájaro guía volaré
Como un pájaro en sus alas
Sea lo que sea que le pasó a
la vida que una vez tuvimos.
Podemos realmente vivir el uno sin el otro?
Donde perdimos el contacto
que parecía significar tanto…?
Y siempre me hacía sentir tan…
Libre como un pájaro
Es la segunda cosa que quiero ser
Libre como un pájaro
Doméstico, doméstico y sediento
Como un pájaro guía volaré
Como un pájaro en sus alas
Sea lo que sea que le pasó a
la vida que una vez tuvimos
siempre me hizo sentir tan libre
Libre como un pájaro
Es la segunda cosa que quiero ser
Libre como un pájaro
Libre como un pájaro
Libre como un pájaro.
