Today I give thanks for what I've livedHoy doy gracias por lo vivido
And also for what I've learnedY también por lo aprendido
Today I can say I'm happy with my soulHoy puedo decir que soy feliz con mi alma

For that song with calmPor ese canto con calma
With the joy that gives me awayCon la alegría que me delata
I'm not black or whiteYo no soy negra ni blanca
I'm all the colors of my voiceSoy todos los colores de mi garganta

Oh, life, life, lifeAy, la vida, la vida, la vida

The paths of lifeLos caminos de la vida
Aren't what I thoughtNo son como yo pensaba
Or how I imaginedComo los imaginaba
There lies the tough gameAhí está la jugada brava

I fell, I got tired, and almost failedMe caí, me cansé y por poco fracasé
But in the end, I stood upPero al final me paré
And with all my might, I moved forwardY con toda eché pa’ lante

Life, life, lifeLa vida, la vida, la vida
Has been good to meHa sido buena conmigo
And I give thanks to lifeY yo le doy gracias a la vida
Because it has given me lovePorque me ha dado cariño

Get it, Gera!¡Guapea Gera!
That's it!¡Ahí na' ma'!

Life, life, lifeLa vida, la vida, la vida
Has been good to meHa sido buena conmigo
And I give thanks to lifeY yo le doy gracias a la vida
Because it has given me lovePorque me ha dado cariño

I bet on the big prizeAposté al premio mayor
And what do you think? I won it¿Y tú qué crees? Me lo gané
Not a scholarship, not a car, not cashNi beca, ni carro, ni plata fue
I gambled it all for lovePor el amor me la jugué
