El Condor Pasa Lyrics - Perry Como

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail, 

Yes, I would, 

If I could, 

I surely would, hmm 

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail, 

Yes, I would, 

If I only could, 

I surely would, hmm 

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 it's saddest sound, 

It's saddest sound, hmm 

I'd rather be a forest than a street, 

Yes, I would, 

If I could, 

I surely would, hmm 

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 it's saddest sound, 

It's saddest sound 

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet, 

Yes, I would, 

If I only could, 

I surely would 

Yes I would
