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 between black and 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 heart that beats in its frame
When I look at 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 has given me laughter and it has given me tears
So I can distinguish joy from sorrow
The two materials that make up my song
And the song of yours that is the same song
And the song of everyone that is my own song

Thanks to life that has given me so much
It has given me the hearing that in all its breadth
Records night and day crickets and canaries
Torments, turbines, barking, downpours
And the tender voice of my beloved

Thanks to life that has given me so much
It has given me the sound and the alphabet
With it, the words that I think and declare
Mother, friend, brother
And light illuminating the path of the soul of the one I am loving

Thanks to life that has given me so much
It has given 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, thanks to life
