Gracias a la vida [English translation]

Thank you to the life that has given me so much

It gave me two bright eyes that, when I open them

Perfectly distinguish between the black and the white

And high in the sky its starry background

And in the multitudes, the man that I love.

Thank you to the life that has given me so much

It has given me sound and the alphabet

With it the words that I think and declare

"Mother", "friend", "brother", and light that's illuminating

The route to the soul of the one that I love.

Thank you to the life that has given me so much

It has given me the steps of my tired feet

With them, I walked through cities and puddles,

Beaches and deserts, mountains and plains

And your house, your street, and your patio.

Thank you to the life that has given me so much

It gave me my heart that beats strongly

When I see the fruits of the human mind,

When I see the good so far from the bad,

When I look deep into your bright eyes.

Thank you to the life that has given me so much

It has given me smiles and has given me tears

So that I can distinguish joy from brokeness

The two materials that create my song

And the song of you all, which is the same song

And everyone's song, which is my own song.

Thank you to life

Thank you to life

Thank you to life

Thank you to life.
