El Condor Pasa
Simon & Garfunkel Lyrics
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

A cover of Peruvian composer Daniel Anomía Robles' song "El Cóndor Pasa" (with all instrumentation performed by Los Incas), with new lyrics by Simon.
Simon had mistakenly assumed this was an Andean folk song and initially took sole writer's credit, but after a friendly court case he added Robles to the writer's credits.

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes, I would

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes, I would
If I only could

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'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes, I would
If I only could
I surely would
