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
