Paroles et traduction Roberto Goyeneche - 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 dio 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 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 amado
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 vos alumbrando
La ruta del alma de 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 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

Gratitude for Life

Gratitude for life, which has given me so much,
It gave me two lights, that when I open them
Perfectly distinguish the black from the white
And in the high sky its starry background
And, in the crowds, the man I love
Gratitude for life, which has given me so much,
It gave me the heart that shakes its framework
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
Gratitude for life, which has given me so much,
It has given me the ear that, in all its width
Records crickets and canaries night and day
Hammers, turbines, barking, downpours
And the tender voice of my beloved
Gratitude for life, which 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 you illuminating
The path of the soul of the one I am loving
Gratitude for life, which has given me so much,
It has given me the march of my tired feet
With them, I have walked through cities and puddles
Beaches and deserts, mountains and plains
And your house, your street, and your patio
Gratitude for 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 your song that is the same song
And the song of all that is my own song
Gratitude for life that has given me so much
