Day 4: 10 Song LyricChallenge

Pieces of lyrics that have touched your heart during your life.

Title: If I could ( El condor pasa, trad. Peruana)

Artist: Simon & Garfunkel

Year: 1970

Style: Folk

“ 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
It's 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 know this song since I was a kid, my dad was such a fun of Simon & Garfunkel, though I didn’t appreciate their music till I was around 18.

These two guys created few of the bests songs you can remember, this one I’m posting about is a cover of a Peruvian folk song, even though, they play it like no other.
