El Cndor Pasa is a song from the zarzuela El Cndor Pasa by the Peruvian composer Daniel Aloma Robles written in 1913 and based on traditional Andean folk tunes. It is possibly the best-known Peruvian song worldwide due to a cover version by Simon & Garfunkel in 1970 on their Bridge Over Troubled Water album, which is called El Condor Pasa (If I Could). Paul Simon used the instrumental version of Los Incas as the basic-track (without permission) and wrote entirely new, unrelated lyrics. Later that year, Perry Como released a cover of Simon's English version on his album It's Impossible, while Julie Felix took advantage of Simon and Garfunkel's decision not to release their version as a UK single, and had a UK Top 20 hit with it. Simon & Garfunkel did release their version as a single in the U.S. and it reached # 18 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in the fall of 1970. Paul (Paulie) Simmons is.    Download this sheet!
