Perry Como - El Condor Pasa lyrics
[Perry Como - El Condor Pasa lyrics]
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
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes, I would if I only could
I surely would
Yes I would
