Paroles et traduction Elis Regina - 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 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 dia grillos y canarios
Martillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubazcos,
Y la voz tan tierna de mi bienamado
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 dió 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 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 ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto
Asi 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

Thanks to Life

Thanks to life that has given me so much .
It gave me two bright eyes that when I open them
I can clearly distinguish black from white
And in the high sky its starry background
And among the crowds the man I love
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It has given me the hearing that in all its breadth
Records night and day crickets and canaries
Hammers, turbines, barking, downpours,
And the tender voice of my beloved
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It has given me the sound and the alphabet
With it the words that I think and declare
Mother, friend, brother and light illuminating
The path of the soul of the one I love
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It gave me the heart that beats in my chest
When I behold the fruit of the human brain
When I see the good so far from the bad
When I look into the depths of your clear eyes
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It has given me the stride of my weary feet
With them I have walked through cities and puddles
Beaches and deserts, mountains and plains
And your house, your street and your patio
Thanks to life that has given me so much
It has given me laughter and it has given me tears
Thus I distinguish joy from sorrow
The two materials that form my song
And the song of you which is the same song
And the song of all which is my own song
