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 oído que en todo su ancho |
| Graba noche y día grillos y canarios |
| Martirios, turbinas, ladridos, chubascos |
| Y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado |
| Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto |
| Me ha dado el sonido y el abecedario |
| Con él, las palabras que pienso y declaro |
| Madre, amigo, hermano |
| Y luz alumbrando la ruta del alma del que estoy amando |
| Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto |
| Me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados |
| Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos |
| Playas y desiertos, montañas y llanos |
| Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio |
| Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto |
| Me dio el corazón que agita su marco |
| Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano |
| Cuando miro el bueno tan lejos del malo |
| Cuando miro el fondo de tus ojos claros |
| Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto |
| Me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto |
| Así yo distingo dicha de quebranto |
| Los dos materiales que forman mi canto |
| Y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto |
| Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto |
| Gracias a la vida, gracias a la vida |
| (translation) |
| Thanks to life, which has given me so much |
| He gave me two stars that when I open them |
| Perfect I distinguish black from white |
| And in the high sky its starry background |
| And in the crowds the man that I love |
| Thanks to life, which has given me so much |
| He has given me the ear that in all its width |
| Record night and day crickets and canaries |
| Martyrdoms, turbines, barks, showers |
| And the tender voice of my beloved |
| Thanks to life, which has given me so much |
| It has given me the sound and the alphabet |
| With him, the words I think and declare |
| mother, friend, brother |
| And light illuminating the path of the soul of the one I'm loving |
| Thanks to life, which has given me so much |
| He has given me the march of my weary 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, which has given me so much |
| He gave me the heart that shakes 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 at the bottom of your clear eyes |
| Thanks to life, which has given me so much |
| He has given me laughter and he has given me tears |
| This is how I distinguish happiness from brokenness |
| The two materials that make up my song |
| And your song, which is the same song |
| And everyone's song that is my own song |
| Thanks to life, thanks to life |
