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 días, 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 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

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 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 days, crickets and canaries
Hammers, turbines, barks, showers
And the tender voice of my beloved

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
He has given me the sound and the alphabet
With him, the words I think and declare
Mother, friend, brother, and shining light
The route of the soul of the one I'm loving

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
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 yard

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
Gave me your heart, which shakes your 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
It has given me laughter and it has given me tears
That's how I distinguish joy from grief
The two materials that make up my song
And your song, which is the same song
And the song of all that is my own song

Thanks to life
