LYRICS IN ENGLISH

Thanks to life
Which has given me so much
It has given me two star eyes
That when I open them
Perfectly I distinguish black from white
And in the distant night sky
The starry heavens.
And in the multitudes, the man I love.

Thanks to life
Which has given me so much
It has given me hearing, which in its breadth of sound
Records day and night, crickets and canaries,
Hammers, turbines, barking, rain showers,
And the voice so tender of my beloved.

Thanks to life
Which has given me so much
It has given me sound and the alphabet
With it, the words that I think and declare
Mother, friend, brother, and light -- that illuminates
the path of the soul of the one I love.

Thanks to life
Which has given me so much.
It has given me the stride of my tired feet
With which I walked ...
Cities and puddles,
Beaches and deserts,
Mountains and plains,
And your house, your street, and your courtyard.

Thanks to life
Which has given me so much.
It gave me my heart
That shakes my soul
When I observe the output of the human brain.
When I see the good so distant from the bad.
When I look into the depth of your light-color eyes.

Thanks to life
Which has given me so much.
It has given me laughter
And has given me weeping;
By this I distinguish
Bliss from heartbreak
The two materials
That shape my singing
And the song you all sing
Which is the same song.
And the singing of everyone
Which is my own song.

Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life

Thanks to life
Which has given me so much.

LETRAS EN ESPAÑOL

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 oido que en todo su ancho
Graba noche y dia, grillos y canarios,
Martillos, 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 el 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, montanas y llanos,
Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio.

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me dio el corazon que agita su marco
Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano,
Cuando miro al bueno tan lejos del malo,
Cuando miro al 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
Asi yo distingo dicha de quebranto,
Los dos materiales que forman mi canto,
Y el canto de ustedes que es mi mismo canto,
Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto.
Gracias a la vida
Gracias a la vida
Gracias a la vida
Gracias a la vida
Gracias a la vida

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
