Subject: RE: EL CONDOR PASA
This is quickly done, but offered for whatever it may be worth as a truduccion of the feel of the Spanish version. I wish I spoke Quechua!

The Condor Passing

The condor passes, high above my bed...
Take me home!  Oh, take me home!

I would that I could pass there in his stead.
Take me over! To my home!

I'd fly, up where the Andes turn,
To my home! To my home!

To Incan lands and friends I would return!
Where I yearn
To return....

(fuga) In Cuzco, wait for me, where I will look for you
            And we will sleep again in Huayna-picchu
            Take me home.  Oh, take me home..
