El Condor Pasa (If I Could) SIMON & GARFUNKEL (with lyrics)

Paul Simon first heard this tune in 1965 performed by South American band, Los Incas. He asked for permission to use the tune and he added his own lyrics for the 1970 Simon & Garfunkel album, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" The result is a track with Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel singing above the backing provided by Los Incas. It also resulted in a complicated (but actually very friendly) lawsuit brought by the son of the original composer.

I loved this song at 17 and now I'm 66 and it's still beautiful. Thanks.

Born in 1953 and grew up on Simon and Garfunkel. I'm a singer, song writer and play harmonica. This song always brought a tear to my eyes as it's so beautiful yet bittersweet...

So sweet, still! I loved this song when I was 14. Now I'm 67 and my love for it is still fresh and reminiscent and my School days.

[minekatt]

I’ve loved this song almost my whole life even though it came out 7 years before I was born. It was one of my mothers favorite songs and she played it all of the time. Every time I listen to it it reminds me of her and it makes me miss her more.

Always loved this song. I first heard it as a child growing up in the 70s. The music and voice is so soothing to the spirit and soul.

What a beautiful song. Wish the spirit of the song rejuvenates the decadence and death around.
Life has forsaken life.

Wish love reigned all.

May God bless Us All.

At 8 years old this song was buzzing in my head backpacking in Yosemite National Park without any family. I was trying to be a big boy and not miss my parents. I added my own lyrics: "I'd rather be at home. If I could, I surely would." 😩😭

[marielim]

Miss my childhood playing this beautiful melody with my recorder almost every night ..one of my favourite..

[oscarorozco]

Wow!!! This tune is so sweet as honey and it makes me feel relaxed and happy and I didn’t know the artist was Simon and Garfunkel at all. It took me by surprise🤯

[susanaalessandretti]

Sigo escuchando este tema todas las veces que puedo, es increíble la melodía y la letra ❤

[markbrown]

I love this song at 17. Also, I am learning how to play it as a solo instrumental piece on guitar. Simon and Garfunkel were two of the greatest artist that will ever be. I’m glad to see they’re both still alive. I think Paul Simon is still doing live performances how cool is that?😎😁👍🏼🎸 way to go Paul Simon❤️
