Accidentally heard this song, a song of 70s, named El Cóndor Pasa. But for the amazement it doesn't had any word in that kind of a language but with pure English words. So the difference was music. A music where it doesn't goes with any westernize instrument, but touches you at the very first moment.
So hear goes the song. If you go to the melody, you will see, it's different.
There are several versions for English, but mainly I prefer Simon & Garfunkel, because they were the pioneers in transforming and make it popular in worldwide, make us feel this different rhythm. Anyway Andy Williams one is also OK to listen.
Yah, truly the lyrics give you another sensation.
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 branch
It gives the world
It's 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...
As it was a spectacular melody, really was very curious to get deep into the history of it. Why it has such a crazy name???
So there comes the answer from the Wiki. The name means Flight of the Condor. A Peruvian piece of music. That's why it makes you feel the wind of plain fields.
Come with me to feel the breeze of Peruvian lands.
