Translation of the song lyrics Gracias A La Vida - Inti Illimani, Holly Near

Gracias A La Vida (original)

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Me dio dos luceros que, cuando los abro,
perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco,
y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado
y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado el o?
do que, en todo su ancho,
graba noche y d?
a grillos y canarios

Gracias A La Vida (translation)

Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
He gave me two stars that, when I open them,
I 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.
He has given me the o?
do that, in all its width,
records night and d?
crickets and canaries
