  • „America“ je píseň amerického dua Simon & Garfunkel, jejímž autorem je Paul Simon. Vyšla v roce 1968 jako součást alba Bookends. V roce 1972 píseň vyšla také jako singl, a to v rámci propagace kompilačního alba . Píseň se věnuje dvěma milencům, kteří cestují autostopem po Spojených státech amerických. Inspirací pro vznik písně byla skutečnost, že Simon vzal v roce 1964 na takovou cestu svou tehdejší přítelkyni Kathy Chitty. V textu je zmíněno například michiganské město . V roce 2016 byla píseň použita v poslední epizodě seriálu Horace and Pete. Coververze písně představili například Bert Sommer, Josh Groban, stejně jako skupina Yes. (cs)
  • America est une chanson écrite et composée par Paul Simon. Elle paraît en 1968 sur Bookends, le quatrième album du duo Simon and Garfunkel. Elle est considérée comme l'une de leurs meilleures chansons. Les paroles s'inspirent d'une virée routière effectuée par Simon avec sa petite amie Kathy Chitty. Elles décrivent un jeune couple qui parcourt les routes des États-Unis en auto-stop et en autocar à la recherche de « l'Amérique », au sens propre comme au sens figuré. (fr)

  • 〈America〉는 1968년 네 번째 스튜디오 음반인 《Bookends》에서 발표한 미국의 포크 듀오 사이먼 & 가펑클의 곡이다. 듀오와 로이 할리가 프로듀싱한 이 곡은 이후 1972년 싱글로 발표되어 《Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits》의 발매를 촉진하였다. 이 곡은 폴 사이먼이 작사, 작곡했으며, 어린 연인들이 문자 그대로 그리고 비유적으로 〈America〉를 찾기 위해 미국 전역을 히치하이킹하는 것을 우려한다. 사이먼이 당시 여자친구였던 캐시 치티와 함께 찍은 1964년 로드 트립에서 영감을 얻었다. 이 곡은 사이먼의 가장 강력한 작사와 작곡 노력의 하나이자 이 듀오의 최고 곡 중 하나로 여겨져 왔다. 2014년 《롤링 스톤》 독자 여론 조사에서 이 곡은 이 그룹의 네 번째 곡으로 선정되었다.
