這是Paul Simon和Garfunkel的禿鷹飛去，取材於南美秘魯安第斯山脈的印加民歌。歌名叫El Condor Pasa，中文譯成“禿鷹飛去”。這是Paul Simon和Garfunkel原唱的版本，可以聽到秘魯特色樂器排蕭的演奏，十分漂亮，高亢飄逸。

這首老歌大家一定很熟悉，二十多年前就傳入中國大陸，好象是蘇小明用英文演唱的。二十多年來，一直是中國學生用來學習英語的歌曲。現在再從箱底翻出來聽，應該很親切。尤其是老鷹號。

歌詞如下：

El Condor Pasa

Paul Simon

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.

CHORUS
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.
