    Default El Condor Pasa

    It should be El Cóndor Pasa (The Flight Of The Condor) by the Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía Robles written in 1913 and based on traditional Andean folk tunes. It is very well known world wide and I guess many musicians had their versions but it became famous with this one by Simon and Garfunkel (1970)

    Simon and Garfunkel - El Condor Pasa (If I Could)

    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.

    CHORUS
    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.

    Hi Spring!
    I really appriciate your effort. I have listened to the link you have posted, but it seems different to me. Secondly as for as i remember the link which i've posted is just a musical i.e. no lyrics. (this is how i saw it on tele in 80s ) keep posting. thanx
