El Cóndor Pasa isn't the average English song, I suppose. Thought it was an original by the duo Simon and Garfunkel who in 1970 sang it to much international acclaim. The song is based on folk music from Peru, and is older than I thought; having been written in 1913 by Daniel Alomía Robles. Simon gave the Peruvian song its English lyrics and the song has since became the best-known Peruvian song in the English-speaking world.
