Lyrics
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 oѓdo que en todo su ancho
Graba noche y dѓa, 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, montaѓ±as y llanos,
Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Me dio el corazѓіn 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.
Asѓ 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 que me ha dado tanto.
Lyrics translation
Thanks to the life you've 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 I love.
Thanks to the life you've given me so much.
He has given me the hearing that in all its breadth
Record night and day, crickets and canaries,
Hammers, turbines, barks, showers,
And the tender voice of my beloved.
Thanks to the life you've given me so much.
He gave me the sound and the alphabet;
With the words I think and declare:
Mother, friend, brother, and light lighting
The path of the soul I'm loving.
Thanks to the life you've given me so much.
It has given me the gait of my tired feet;
With them I walked cities and puddles,
Beaches and deserts, mountains and plains,
And your house, your street and your yard.
Thanks to the life you've given me so much.
He gave me the heart that shakes his 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 into the back of your clear eyes.
Thanks to the life you've given me so much.
He gave me laughter and he gave me crying.
So I distinguish bliss from breaking,
The two materials that make up my song,
And the song of you that is my own song,
And the song of all that is my own song.
Thanks to the life you've given me so much.
