我聽到第一首英文歌兒是大學時一次去晚自習，路邊一位同學收音機裏放出動聽的歌聲，問她在聽什麽，她回答：美國之音。歌兒見下

我在美壇用這首歌兒的歌名做過一次每日一語（APAD, 可以點開看):

 APAD: El Cóndor Pasa [美語世界] - 最西邊的島上(8055 bytes ) 2025-01-31

當時是喜歡這首歌兒的民歌旋律，知道歌詞以後，更喜歡的是歌詞內容

 

 

 

歌詞見下

El Condor Pasa (If I Could)

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
