"El Condor Pasa" as written by Jorge Milchberg, Daniel
Alomia Robles and 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
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
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

Condor Pasa" as written by Daniel Alomia Robles Jorge Milchberg

El Cóndor Pasa (pronounced: [el ˈkondoɾ ˈpasa], Spanish for "The Condor Passes") is an orchestral musical piece from
the zarzuela El Cóndor Pasa by the Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía Robles, written in 1913 and based on
traditionalAndean folk tunes. Since then, it has been
estimated that around the world, more than 4000 versions of the melody have
been produced, along with 300 sets of lyrics. In 2004, Peru declared this song
as part of the national cultural heritage.[1] This song is now considered the second
national anthem of Peru[citation needed], with
which Peruvians worldwide identify.
It is possibly the best-known
Peruvian song due to a cover version by Simon & Garfunkel in 1970 on their Bridge over Troubled Water album. This cover version is called "El
Condor Pasa (If I Could)".

Adam's Bridge, Sri Lanka.

Images Find 1.7 Million Year Old Man-Made Bridge
The NASA Shuttle has imaged a mysterious ancient bridge between
India and Sri Lanka. The bridge was purportedly passable on foot until 1480 AD
when a cyclone moved the sand around.
This recently-discovered bridge has been found to be made of a
chain of limestone shoals. Its unique curvature and composition by age reveals
that it is man made. The bridge currently named as Adam’s Bridge (most
popularly known as Ram Setu) is about 18 miles (30 km) long.
This bridge starts as chain of shoals from the Dhanushkodi tip
of India’s Pamban Island and ends at Sri Lanka’s Mannar Island. Water between
India and Sri Lanka is only 3 to 30 feet (1 to 10 meter) deep. Owing to shallow
waters, this bridge presents a problem in navigation as big ships cannot travel
in the shallow waters of the Pamban channel.
This information is a crucial aspect for an insight into the
mysterious legend called Ramayana, which was supposed to have taken place in
tredha yuga (more than 1,700,000 years ago). Ages before modern civilization
revolutionized this part of the globe.
