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 tired out 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

所谓高山会流水，部落有知音。
现在就来和大家分享这首歌的历史。
这是一首来自南美洲秘鲁，印第安人的民歌，叫做《老鹰之歌》。
这首歌象征着秘鲁族的荣耀与自由。
相传这首歌据说反映的是秘鲁自由英雄Amaro的故事。
1780年，他在抗击西班牙侵略者的起义中被害，死后化身成一只雄鹰。
引喻对自由的不息追求，歌名的直译就是“雄鹰在飞”。
