「コンドルは飛んでいく」でマチュピチュに飛ぶ

---

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 could
I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone

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 could
I surely would..

そのときわたしは　大地の梯子をよじ登り

　　人里離れた密休の　肌を刺す薮をぬけて
　　おまえのところまで　登って行った　マチュ・ピチュよ
　　山の高みの郡市よ　石の段階よ

　　大地も死の経帷子の下に隠さなかった者の住居よ

　　石の母よ　コンドルたちの泡よ

　　人類のあけぼのに高く聳えた岩礁よ　ネルーダ「第六の歌」
