Literally, it means "the condor passes," but it's an old Peruvian song, and I was referring to the lyrics of Simon and Garfunkle's cover:

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
