Lyrics and translation Strombers - Gracias a la Vida

Gracias a la Vida

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto.
Me dió dos luceros que cuando los abro
Perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco,
Y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado.
Y entre las multitudes, la mujer que yo amo.

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 mi mismo canto.
Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto.

Gracias a la vida (a la vida) (bis x4)

In appreciation of life

In appreciation of life, which has given me so much,
It gave me two eyes, when I open them,
I can clearly distinguish black from white,
And in the high sky, its starry expanse.
And amidst the crowds, the woman I love.

In appreciation of life, which has given me so much,
It has given me laughter, it has given me tears,
So that I can recognize happiness and sorrow,
The two elements that shape my song.
And your song, which is my very own song.
And the song of all, which is my very own.

In appreciation of life (to life) (bis x4)
