El Condor Pasa (If I Could)
PAUL SIMON, JORGE MILCHBERG, DANIEL ALOMIA ROBLES
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
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
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
I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Prefiero ser gorrión a caracol
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
Sí, si pudiera, seguramente lo haría

Prefiero ser un martillo a ser un clavo
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
Sí, si tan solo pudiera, seguramente lo haría
Away, I'd rather sail away
Lejos, prefiero navegar lejos
Like a swan that's here and gone
Como un cisne que está aquí y se va

Un hombre se amarra a su tierra

Le da al mundo su voz más triste
Its saddest sound

Away, I'd rather sail away
Para longe, eu preferia singrar para longe
Like a swan that's here and gone

A l’horizon, je préférerais naviguer à l’horizon
Like a swan that's here and gone
Comme un cygne s’éclipsant promptement
A man gets tied up to the ground
Un homme est retenu au sol
He gives the world its saddest sound
Il donne au monde sa mélodie la plus triste
Its saddest sound
Sa mélodie la plus triste
