Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Thanks to the life that has given me so much
Me dio dos luceros, que cuando los abro
He gave me two lights, which when I open them
Perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco
Perfect I distinguish black from white
Y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado
And in the high sky its starry background
Y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo
And in the crowds the man I love
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Thanks to the life that has given me so much
Me ha dado el oido que en todo su ancho
It has given me the ear that in all its width
Graba noche y día, grillos y canarios
Record night and day, crickets and canaries
Martillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubascos
Hammers, turbines, barks, showers
Y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado
And the tender voice of my beloved
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Thanks to the life that has given me so much
Me ha dado el sonido y el abecedario
It has given me the sound and the alphabet
Con el las palabras que pienso y declaro
With him the words I think and declare
Madre, amigo, hermano y luz alumbrando
Mother, friend, brother and light shining
La ruta del alma del que estoy amando
The Route of the Soul I'm Loving
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Thanks to the life that has given me so much
Me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados
It has given me the gait of my tired feet
Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos
With them I walked cities and puddles
Playas y desiertos, montañas y llanos
Beaches and deserts, mountains and plains
Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio
And your house, your street and your yard
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Thanks to the life that has given me so much
Me dio el corazón que agita su marco
It gave me the heart that stirs its frame
Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano
When I look at the fruit of the human brain
Cuando miro al bueno tan lejos del malo
When I look at the good guy so far from the bad guy
Cuando miro al fondo de tus ojos claros
When I look at the bottom of your clear eyes
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Thanks to the life that has given me so much
Me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto
It has made me laugh and it has given me tears
Así yo distingo dicha de quebranto
Thus I distinguish joy from brokenness
Los dos materiales que forman mi canto
The two materials that make up my singing
Y el canto de ustedes que es mi mismo canto
And your song that is my same song
Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto
And everyone's song that is my own song
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Thanks to the life that has given me so much
