Gracias A La Vida

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It gave me two bright stars, that when I open them
Perfectly distinguish black from white
And in the high sky, its starry background
And in the crowds, the man I love

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It gave me hearing, that in all its breadth
Records nights and days, crickets and canaries
Hammers, turbines, barks, downpours
And the tender voice of my beloved

Thanks to life, which 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 illuminating
The soul's path of the one I love

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It gave me the rhythm 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 patio

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It gave me the heart, which beats its frame
When I see the fruit of the human brain
When I see the good so far from the bad
When I see the depth of your clear eyes

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It gave me laughter and it gave me tears
Thus I distinguish joy from sorrow
The two materials that make up my song
And your song, which is the same song
And the song of everyone, which is my own song

Thanks to life
