Текст и перевод песни Susana Baca - 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 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 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, 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 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
El canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto
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 bright stars, and when I open them
Perfectly I distinguish black from white
And in the high sky, its starry background
And in the multitudes, the man that I love

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It gave me hearing, which in all its breadth
Records night and day, crickets and canaries
Hammers, turbines, barking dogs, and showers
And the tender voice of my beloved

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It gave me sound and the alphabet
With it, the words I think and declare
Mother, friend, brother, and light illuminating
The path of the soul of the one I'm loving

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

Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It gave me the heart that stirs in its frame
When I look at the fruit of the human brain
When I look 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 gave me laughter, and it gave me tears
Thus I distinguish happiness from heartbreak
The two materials that form my song
Your song, which is the same song
The song of everyone, which is my own song

Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
