这是一首具有浓厚的拉丁美洲乡间音乐的歌曲,在六十年代非常出名。作者对比了麻雀与蜗牛、铁锤与铁钉、森林与街道,相比之下,前者享有更大的自由。歌中还有另一对比较物,即天鹅与人。天鹅高飞于空,自由自在;而人被束缚在土地上,唱出最悲哀的歌声。这首歌抒发了对自由的渴望和对理想的追求。但最后一段很有现实感,作者希望能脚踏实地,获得实实在在、不脱离实际的自由,这样,理想与现实就可以达到完美的统一。


If I Could (El Condor 1 Pasa)                  By Andy Williams


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


我宁可是只麻雀,也不愿做一只蜗牛
没错,如果可以,我会这样这样选择
我宁可是支铁锤,也不愿是一根铁钉
没错,如果真的可以,我会这样选择


我愿航行到远方
像来了又去的天鹅
一个人如果被束缚在地上
他会向世界发出最悲伤的声音
最悲伤的声音


我宁可是座森林,也不愿是一条街道
没错,如果可以,我会这样选择
我宁可感受大地就在你的脚下
没错,如果真的可以,我会这样选择


歌曲简介:


这首歌原本是秘鲁的民俗音乐家丹尼尔•阿罗密亚斯•罗布列斯的作品,1956年首先被艾多•阿德法尔以吉他独奏的方式发表。1965年,欧洲著名的“印加民俗乐团”再度灌录此曲,恰巧被到巴黎旅行的保罗.西蒙听到,保罗.西蒙相当喜欢这首曲子,一时兴起填上英文歌词,回到美国后和搭档阿特•加芬克尔一同灌录成唱片,于1970年风行全球,这首曲子因此成为南美洲最具代表性的一首民谣。美国男歌星安迪•威廉姆斯演唱的版本,是更贴近现代流行风味的版本。
