El Condor Pasa [If I Could] [Russian translation]

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail,

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 up to the ground,

he gives the world its saddest sound,

its saddest sound.

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.

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 feel the earth beneath my feet,

yes I would, if I only could, I surely would.
