Thanks to life which has given me so
Gave me two stars, that when opened,
Perfectly distinguish black from white
And in the sky above, her starry backdrop
And in the multitudes the man I love
Thanks to life which has given me so
It has given me my hearing that in all its breadth
Day and night records, crickets, canaries,
Hammers, turbines, bricks, storms,
And the tender voice of my beloved
Thanks to life which has given me so
It has given me sound and the alphabet;
within the words I think and declare:
Mother, friend, brother, and light illuminating
The path of the soul of my loved one
Thanks to life which has given me so
It has given me my tired feet;
With them I walked cities, puddles
Beaches, deserts, mountains, plains
your house, your street and your patio
Thanks to life which has given me so
He gave me the heart that shakes it's frame
When I see the fruit of the human brain
When I see good so far from bad,
When I look into the depths of your blue eyes
Thanks to life which has given me so
It has given me laughter also tears
So I distinguish happiness and pain
The two materials that make my song,
And your song which is my own song,
And the song of all which is my own song
Thanks to life which has given me so
