Paroles et traduction Eva Ayllon - Gracias a la Vida

Gracias a la Vida

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 sonido y el abedecedario
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 al bueno tan lejos del malo,
Cuando miro al 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
Gracias a la vida
Gracias a la vida
Gracias a la vida.

Thanks to Life

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It gave me two stars, that when I open them
I clearly discern 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
It has given me sound and the alphabet
With it the words that I think and declare
Mother, friend, brother, and light illuminating,
The soul's path of the one I love.

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It has given me the stride of my tired feet
With them I have walked cities and puddles,
Beaches and deserts, mountains and plains
And your house, your street, and your backyard.

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It gave me the heart that beats in my chest
When I look at the fruit of the human brain,
When I gaze at the good, so far from the bad,
When I look deep into your clear eyes.

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It has given me laughter and it has given me tears,
And so I distinguish joy from heartbreak
The two materials that form my song
And your song, which is the same song
And the song of all, which is my own song.

Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life.
