美国乡村音乐:Condor pasa—保罗西蒙老鹰之歌

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail¹.
Yes I would.
If I could,
I surely would.

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail.
Yes I would.
If I could,
I surely would.
 
Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied his feet to the ground
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.
