这是Paul Simon和Garfunkel的秃鹰飞去，取材于南美秘鲁安第斯山脉的印加民歌。歌名叫El Condor Pasa，中文译成“秃鹰飞去”。这是Paul Simon和Garfunkel原唱的版本，可以听到秘鲁特色乐器排萧的演奏，十分漂亮，高亢飘逸。

这首老歌大家一定很熟悉，二十多年前就传入中国大陆，好象是苏小明用英文演唱的。二十多年来，一直是中国学生用来学习英语的歌曲。现在再从箱底翻出来听，应该很亲切。尤其是老鹰号。

歌词如下：

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.
