Gracias a La Vida

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
