Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto

Thanks to life that has given me so much

Me dio dos luceros que cuando los abro

It gave me two bright eyes that when I open them

Perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco

I perfectly 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 that I love

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto

Thanks to life that has given me so much

Me ha dado el oído que en todo su ancho

It's given me hearing that, in all its range

Cada noche y días

Every night and days

Grillos y canarios, martillos, turbinas

Crickets and canaries, hammers, turbines

Ladridos, chubascos

Barks, downpours

Y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado

And the tender voice of my dearly loved one

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto

Thanks to life that has given me so much

Me ha dado el sonido y el abecedario

It's given me sound and the alphabet

Con el las palabras que pienso y declaro

With it the words that 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 of the one that I'm loving

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto

Thanks to life that has given me so much

Me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados

It's given me the march of my tired feet

Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos

With them I walked through 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 life that has given me so much

Me dio el corazón que agita su marco

It gave me the heart that shakes its frame

Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano

When I look at the fruit of the human brain

Cuando miro el bueno tan lejos del malo

When I see the good so far from the bad

Cuando miro el fondo de tus ojos claros

When I look at the depth of your clear eyes

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto

Thanks to life that has given me so much

Me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto

It's given me laughter and it's given me tears

Así yo distingo dicha de quebranto

That way I distinguish joy from heartbreak

Los dos materiales que forman mi canto

The two materials that shape my song

Y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto

And the song of y'all that is the same song

Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto

And the song of everyone that is my own song

Gracias a la vida

Thanks to life

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Gracias a la Vida — or Thanks to Life — is Kacey Musgraves’s glowing love-letter to existence itself. Singing completely in Spanish, the Texas storyteller pauses to marvel at the everyday magic we often overlook: the way her eyes separate black from white and trace starry skies, the music of crickets and turbines that drifts into her ears, and the tender sight of “the man I love” in a bustling crowd. Every verse feels like opening another present from life, wrapped in gentle guitars and Musgraves’s warm, airy voice.

By the end, she has thanked life for words, footsteps, heartbeats, laughter, and tears — all the ingredients that let her create this very song and share it with the world. The message is simple yet powerful: when we recognize these gifts, our personal gratitude becomes a universal chorus that connects everyone who listens. In other words, her song of thanks is also our song, inviting us to find joy in the senses, feelings, and relationships that make being alive so richly musical.
