El Cóndor Pasa (1970) (by 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.
