El condor pasa Songtext
von Paul Desmond

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 could,
I surely would.


CHORUS
Away, I′d rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man grows older every day
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 could,
I surely would.

CHORUS
