Gracias a La Vida
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me dio dos luceros que cuando los abro
Perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco
Y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado
Y en las multitudes la mujer que yo amo
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado el oído que en todo su ancho
Graba noche y día, grillos y canarios
Martillos, turbinas, ladridos chubascos
Y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado el sonido y el abecedario
Con él las palabras que pienso y declaro
Madre, amigo, hermano y luz alumbrando
La ruta del alma que yo estoy amando
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados
Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos
Playas y desiertos, montañas y llanos
Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me dio el corazón que agita su marco
Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano
Cuando miro el bueno tan lejos del malo
Cuando miro el fondo de tus ojos claros
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me dio el corazón que agita su marco
Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano
Cuando el bueno tan lejos del malo
Cuando miro el fondo de tus ojos claros
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto
Así yo distingo dicha de quebranto
Los dos materiales que forman mi canto
Y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto
Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto
Gracias a la vida
Gracias a la vida
Gracias a la vida
Gracias a la vida
Thanks to Life
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It gave me two bright eyes that when I open them
I can clearly tell black from white
And in the high sky its starry background
And in the crowds, the woman I love
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It gave me the ear that in all its width
Records night and day, crickets and canaries
Hammers, turbines, barking, downpours
And the sweet voice of my beloved
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It gave me sound and the alphabet
With it, the words I think and declare
Mother, friend, brother, and light shining
The path of the soul that I am loving
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It gave me the march of my tired feet
With them, I walked through cities and puddles
Beaches and deserts, mountains and plains
And your house, your street, and your yard
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It gave me the heart that shakes its frame
When I see the fruit of the human brain
When I see the good so far from the bad
When I look into the depths of your clear eyes
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It gave me the heart that shakes its frame
When I see the fruit of the human brain
When the good is so far from the bad
When I look into the depths of your clear eyes
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It gave me laughter and it gave me tears
So I can tell joy from sorrow
The two materials that form my song
And the song of you all that is the same song
And the song of everyone that is my own song
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
