Thanks to Life

Gracias a La Vida

Thanks to life that has given me so muchGracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
It gave me two bright stars that when I open themMe dio dos luceros que, cuando los abro
Perfectly distinguish between black and whitePerfecto distingo lo negro del blanco
And in the high sky, its starry backgroundY en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado
And in the crowds, the man I love.Y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo

Thanks to life that has given me so muchGracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
It gave me the sound and the alphabetMe ha dado el sonido y el abecedario
With them the words that I think and declareCon él las palabras que pienso y declaro
Mother friend brother and light shining,Madre, amigo, hermano y luz alumbrando
The soul's path of the one I am loving.La ruta del alma del que estoy amando

Thanks to life that has given me so muchGracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
It gave me the march of my tired feetMe ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados
With them I walked cities and puddles,Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos
Beaches and deserts mountains and plainsPlayas y desiertos, montañas y llanos
And your house, your street, and your patio.Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio

Thanks to life that has given me so muchGracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
It gave me the heart that beats in its frameMe dio el corazón que agita su marco
When I look at the fruit of the human brain,Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano
When I look at the good so far from the bad,Cuando miro al bueno tan lejos del malo
When I look into the depths of your clear eyes.Cuando miro al fondo de tus ojos claros

Thanks to life that has given me so muchGracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
It gave me laughter and it gave me tears,Me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto
So I distinguish joy from sorrowAsí yo distingo dicha de quebranto
The two materials that make up my songLos dos materiales que forman mi canto
And the song of yours which is the same songY el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto
And the song of everyone which is my own song.Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto
