lyrics
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes, I would
If I could
I surely would
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
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
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
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
Yes, I would
If I only could
I surely would
El Cóndor Pasa(pronounced [el ˈkondoɾ pasa], Spanish for "The Condor Passes") is an orchestralmusical piece from
the zarzuela El Cóndor Pasa by
the Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía Robles,
written in 1913 and based on traditional Andean music, specifically folk music from Peru.
Since then, it has been estimated that around
the world, more than 4000 versions of the melody have been produced, along with
300 sets of lyrics. In 2004, Peru declared this song as part of the national
cultural heritage. This song is now considered the second national anthem
of Peru.
It is the best-known Peruvian song in the
English-speaking world due to a 1970 cover by Simon & Garfunkel on
their Bridge over
Troubled Water album. Their version is called "El
Cóndor Pasa (If I Could)".
Paul Simon first heard this tune in 1965
performed by South American band, Los Incas. He asked for permission to use the
tune and he added his own lyrics for the 1970 Simon & Garfunkel album,
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" The result is a track with Paul Simon
and Art Garfunkel singing above the backing provided by Los Incas. It also
resulted in a complicated (but actually very friendly) lawsuit brought by the
son of the original composer.
"Simon & Garfunkel" was an
American folk rock duo consisting of singer-songwriter Paul Simon and singer
Art Garfunkel. They were one of the most popular recording artists of the 1960s
and became counterculture icons of the decade's social revolution, alongside
artists such as the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan.
Simon & Garfunkel were an American music duo
consisting of singer-songwriters Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. They formed the
group Tom & Jerry in 1957 and had their first success with the minor hit
"Hey, Schoolgirl". As Simon & Garfunkel, the duo rose to fame in
1965, largely on the strength of the hit single "The Sound of
Silence". Their music was featured in the landmark film The Graduate
(1967), propelling them further into the public consciousness.
