el condor pasa ( simon and garfunkel version)
autor: Daniel Alomia Robles (Peru)

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
It 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.
