Gracias a La Vida

Thanks to life that 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 that has given me so much
It gave me the sound and the alphabet
With them the words that I think and declare
Mother friend brother and light shining,
The soul's path of the one I am loving.

Thanks to life that has given me so much
It gave me the rhythm of my tired feet
With them I walked cities and puddles,
Beaches and deserts mountains and plains
And your house, your street and your patio.

Thanks to life that has given me so much
It gave me the heart that beats in its frame
When I look at the fruit of the human brain,
When I look at 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 laughter and it gave me tears,
So I distinguish joy from sorrow
The two materials that make up my song
And the song of you all which is the same song
And the song of everyone which is my own song.

Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life.
