"El Condor Pasa" lyrics

El Condor Pasa

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

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

La la la la la la la la la la
La la la
La la la la
La la la la

La la la la la la la la la la
La la la
La la la la
La la la la

La la la la la la la la la la
La la la
La la la la
La la la la

La la la la la la la la la la
La la la
La la la la
La la la la
