Gracias a La Vida
Violeta Parra
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 el 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 mi mismo canto
Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto

Thanks to Life

Lyrics
Thanks to life that has given me so much.
It gave me two stars, that when I open them,
Perfect I distinguish the black from the white
And in the high sky its starry bottom
And in the multitudes the man 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, showers,
And the voice so tender of my well-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 am loving.
Thanks to the life that has given me so much.
It has given me the march of my tired feet;
With them I walked cities and puddles,
Beaches and deserts, mountains and plains,
And your house, your street and your courtyard.
Thanks to life that has given me so much.
It gave me the heart that shakes 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 into the depths of your clear eyes.
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 that is my song,
And the song of all that is my own song.
Thanks to life that has given me so much.
