El condor pasa (1993‐10‐22, New York City, NY, USA) Songtext
von Simon & Garfunkel

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


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
