《山鷹之歌》是一首反抗西班牙殖民者的印第安民歌，流傳于南美秘魯一帶，其悠遠(yuǎn)神秘的旋律和古樸獨(dú)特的安第斯山區(qū)民族樂(lè)器編曲令人不禁對(duì)南美印第安文化心馳神往。此曲流傳最廣的是美國(guó)民謠歌手保羅·西蒙的英文填詞版。這一版雖然唱頌民族精神的色彩有所減弱，但依然帶有濃重的拉美鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)特色。歌曲中提及麻雀、蝸牛、鐵錘、天鵝等意象，唱盡了被束縛在土地上的人對(duì)實(shí)實(shí)在在而非空中樓閣的自由的渴望，同時(shí)也流露出其難以割舍的對(duì)土地的眷戀。歌者在理想與現(xiàn)實(shí)中彷徨不定，靈魂始終澄澈?！窫lCondorPasa」山鷹之歌
