Paroles et traduction Oscar Chavez - 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, la mujer 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 día, grillos y canarios
Martillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubascos
Y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amada

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
Padre, amigo, hermano y luz alumbrando
La ruta del alma a la 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 manto
Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano
Cuando miro al 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 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
Que me ha dado tanto

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 perfectly distinguish black from white
And in the high sky, its starry background
And in the crowds, the woman I love

Thanks to life that has given me so much
It has given me the ear that in all its breadth
Records night and day, crickets and canaries
Hammers, turbines, barks, downpours
And the tender voice of my beloved

Thanks to life that has given me so much
It has given me sound and the alphabet
With it the words that I think and declare
Father, friend, brother, and light illuminating
The path of the soul that I am loving

Thanks to life that has given me so much
It has given me the march of my tired feet
With them I have walked in 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 gave me the heart that waves its cloak
When I look at the fruit of the human brain
When I look at 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
He has given me laughter, and he has given me tears
Thus I distinguish happiness 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

Thanks to life
That has given me so much
