歌词：

Song：El Condor Pasa
Artist：Paul Simon

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail².
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.

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 earth
its saddest sound,
its saddest sound.

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

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