paroles de chanson El Cóndor Pasa - 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

< instrumental break >

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 .. .

< instrumental break >

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

Yes I would .. .
