El Condor Pasa (Орёл летит) –
Перуанская народная мелодия, англ. текст Пол Саймон, 1970.
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
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
Я был бы воробьем, чем улиткой.
Да я был бы.
Если бы я мог,
Я конечно был бы.
Я был бы молотком, чем гвоздем.
Да я был бы.
Если бы я только мог,
Я конечно был бы.
Далеко, я уплыл бы далеко
Как лебедь, это здесь и увидено
Каждый день человек становится старше
Это дает миру
Его самый грустный звук,
Его самый грустный звук.
Я был бы лесом, чем улицей.
Да я был бы.
Если бы я мог,
Я конечно был бы.
Я чувствовал бы землю ниже своих ног,
Да я был бы.
Если бы я мог,
Я конечно был бы.
El Condor Pasa ( The eagle flies ) -
Peruvian folk melody , Eng. text of Paul Simon , 1970 .
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
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
I would be a sparrow than a snail .
Yes I would .
If I could ,
I certainly would.
I would be a hammer than a nail.
Yes I would .
If only I could ,
I certainly would.
Far , I have sailed away
Like a swan , is seen here
Every day a person gets older
This gives the world
Its saddest sound
Its saddest sound.
I would forest than a street .
Yes I would .
If I could ,
I certainly would.
I would feel the ground beneath their feet ,
Yes I would .
If I could ,
I certainly would.
