The Simon & Garfinkle version:Yes I would If I could I surely would I'd rather be a hammer than an nail Yes I would If I could I surely would Away, I'd rather sail away Like a swan that's here and gone Away, it's tied up to the ground It 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 could I surely would

Original versionSígueme, más allá, y tú verás En la espalda del condor me senté, A volar, cada vez más alto, el cielo alcanzar Mirar, mirar hacia la tierra, Tan distinta de lo que ví Fronteras no se deben ver, Todo el mundo, desde allí, es lo que ví El condor al cantar se escuchó, Repitió, son hermanos, todos iguales

The Andean Condor belong to a family of birds that include
Turkey Vultures, Black Vultures, California Condors and the
rare King Vulture. These American Vultures share many
interesting characteristics; such as being specialized
carrion eaters, having a bald head, and weak flight muscles.
Instead of flapping their wings to fly, vultures often soar
by relying on rising air currents to carry them from one
place of another. |
MWW Shirley and I visited Machu Picchu and were awed by
the flight of the condors through the entire trip.
