El condor 1 pasa
Simon & Garfunkel
Music & Lyrics 2 : Paul Simon - Jorge Milchberg - Daniel A. Robles
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail 3
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
1、
The most successful folk-rock duo of the 1960s, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel crafted a series of memorable 4 hit albums and singles featuring their choirboy harmonies, ringing acoustic 5, and electric guitars; and Simon's acute, finely wrought 6 songwriting. The pair always inhabited the more polished end of the folk-rock spectrum 7, and were sometimes criticized for a certain collegiate sterility 8. Many also feel that Simon, as both a singer and songwriter, didn't truly blossom until he began his own hugely successful solo career in the 1970s. But the best of S&G's work can stand among Simon's best material, and the duo did progress musically over the course of their five albums, moving from basic folk-rock productions into Latin rhythms and gospel-influenced arrangements that foreshadowed Simon's eclecticism 9 on his solo albums.
