Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about EL CONDOR PASA (IF I COULD) (page 1/1) ------ performed by Simon and Garfunkel Offering some insight into the song. | Reviewer: Jose Barrera | 10/24/09 Not only is the song beautiful but timeless as well! Simon & Garfunkel did indeed take the musical score and created lyrics for it. The music (without lyrics) is called, El Condor Pasa. It was composed in 1913, by Daniel Alomia Robles, from Peru. The title "El Condor Pasa", is for some wierd reason, roughly translated in english, as "The Flight of the Condor" Which if you translate that title to spanish it means, "El Vuelo Del Condor". Even if you don't know spanish, one can clearly see that it is a very different phrase. But the rough translation does not take away from it's beauty. I invite anyone that likes this song, to visit YouTube and search for "El Condor Pasa - CantoAndino". You will see this original song, performed by a contemporary Peruvian Folk Band! Hope you like it! Thank you for your time! And best of luck to you Rebecca! Origin of song? | Reviewer: Rebecca | 10/12/09 We were visiting our missionary son and family in Haiti last week and at a beautiful Haitian church service, this song was sung in Creole. I recognized the tune but could not figure out which song until later. It was so beautiful and sung in reverance. I doubted they sang these words and possibly changed the words to the tune. Is it possible this tune was/is another song that Simon and Garfunkel just used the music and created the lyrics? Thank you. Add Your New Review About The Song
