El Condor

El Condor........... 
Flying 


This snowscape 
High flight 
High escape 
Mountain light 


This solitary flying 
Wind sighing 
Mountain light 
Andean flight 

El Condor 

Soaring high 
Andean home 
Flying alone 
Hear the moan 
Of Incan wind 
Hear it sigh 

El Condor 

This Incan wind blows 
Andean mountain snows 
The Inca have now gone 
El Condor 
Temple of the sun 
El Condor.............. 
has won 

El Condor 

High in sky, 
watching me 
I see you fly, 
you know why 
God of sky 

This great spread of wing 
Land of inca, 
encompassing 
Mountain height 
Mountain light 

El Condor 

Moon 
Sun 
Earth 
Thunder 
Lightning 
Sea 

These gods you see............ 
Cannot compare 
To the giant of the air 
That flies free 

El Condor
