GRACIAS A LA VIDA (THANKS TO LIFE)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
\nMe dio dos luceros que cuando los abro
\nPerfecto distingo lo negro del blanco
\nY en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado
\nY en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo
\n 
\nGracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
\nMe ha dado el oido que en todo su ancho
\nGraba noche y dia grillos y canarios
\nMartillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubazcos
\nY la voz tan tierna de mi bienamado
\n 
\nGracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
\nMe ha dado el sonido y el abecedario
\nCon el las palabras que pienso y declaro
\nMadre, amigo, hermonao y luz alumbrando
\nLa ruta del alma del que estoy amando
\n 
\nGracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
\nMe ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados
\nCon ellos anduve ciudades y charcos
\nPlayas y desiertos, monta\u00f1as y llanos
\nY la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio
\n 
\nGracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
\nMe di\u00f3 el coraz\u00f3n que agita su marco
\nCuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano
\nCuando miro el bueno tan lejos del malo
\nCuando miro el fondo de tus ojos claros
\n 
\nGracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
\nMe ha dado la risa y me had dado el llanto
\nAs\u00ed yo distingo dicha de quebranto
\nLos dos materiales que forman mi canto
\nY el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto
\nY el canto de todos que es mi propio canto<\/p>\n

\nThanks to life which has given me so much
\nIt has given my eyes which, when open,
\nDistinguish perfectly between black and white
\nThe starry depths of heaven
\nAnd amongst the multitudes, the one I love
\n 
\nThanks to life which has given me so much
\nIt has given me my ears that in all their breadth
\nRecord night and day, grasshoppers & canaries
\nHammers & turbines, barking & raindrops
\nAnd the tender voice of my beloved
\n 
\nThanks to life which has given me so much
\nIt has given me sound and the alphabet
\nWith it the words that I think and say
\nMother, friend, brother, and light that illumines
\nThe route of the soul of the one I am loving
\n 
\nThanks to life which has given me so much
\nIt has given me the walk of my tired feet
\nWith which I have roamed cities and oceans
\nBeaches and deserts, mountains and plains
\nTo your house, your street and your patio
\n 
\nThanks to life which has given me so much
\nIt has given me the heart that shakes its frame
\nWhen I look at the fruits of the human brain
\nWhen I see the good, so distant from the bad
\nAnd when I see the depths of your clear eyes
\n 
\nThanks to life which has given me so much
\nIt has given me laughter and tears
\nBy which I distinguish happiness and grief
\nThe two materials that make my song
\nAnd your song, which is the same song
\nAnd everyone\u2019s song which is my own song
\n <\/p>\n
