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, the black from the white
And in the high sky, its starry background
And in the crowds the man that I love
Thanks to life, that has given me so much
It gave me the sound and the alphabet
With it the words that I think and declare
Mother, friend, brother and shining light
The path of the soul of the one I am loving
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It gave me the hearing that in all its width
Records night and day crickets and canaries
Hammers, turbines, barking, downpours
And the tender voice of my beloved
Thanks to life, that has given me so much
It gave me the heart, that beats its hand
When I look at the fruit of the human brain
When I look at the good so far from the bad
When I look at the depth of your clear eyes
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It gave me the pace of my tired feet
With them I walked, cities and puddles
beaches and deserts, mountains and plains
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 my own song.
