Lyrics of El Condor Pasa (If I Could) by Simon & Garfunkel

verse

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

verse

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

chorus

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

verse

I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes, I would
If I could
I surely would

verse

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes, I would
If I only could
I surely would
Writer(s): Daniel Alomias Robles, Jorge Milchberg
