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, monta?as 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 el 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
y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto,
y el canto de todos, que es mi propio canto.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
英文翻译：
Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me two beams of light, that when opened,
Can perfectly distinguish black from white
And in the sky above, her starry backdrop,
And from within the multitude
The one that I love.
Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me an ear that, in all of its width
Records― night and day―crickets and canaries,
Hammers and turbines and bricks and storms,
And the tender voice of my beloved.
Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me sound and the alphabet.
With them the words that I think and declare:
"Mother," "Friend," "Brother" and the light shining.
The route of the soul from which comes love.
Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me the ability to walk with my tired feet.
With them I have traversed cities and puddles
Valleys and deserts, mountains and plains.
And your house, your street and your patio.
Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me a heart, that causes my frame to shudder,
When I see the fruit of the human brain,
When I see good so far from bad,
When I see within the clarity of your eyes...
Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me laughter and it gave me longing.
With them I distinguish happiness and pain―
The two materials from which my songs are formed,
And your song, as well, which is the same song.
And everyone's song, which is my very song.
Thanks to life
中文翻译：
感谢生活，生活对我意重情深，
伊给我一双明眸，当我睁开眼睛，
世间的一切黑白分明，
我看见，高空星光点缀的天幕，
茫茫人海中我认出钟爱的人。
感谢生活，生活对我意重情深，
伊给我敏锐听力，
记录白昼和黑夜，蟋蟀与丝雀，
敲击、汽笛、犬吠与暴风雨的声音，
还有心爱的恋人温柔呼唤声。
感谢生活，生活对我意重情深，
伊教我发声和认识字母，
我用他们表达和思考，
我从心底呼唤母亲、朋友和兄弟，
从此光明照亮我心路历程。
感谢生活，生活对我意重情深，
伊让我疲惫两脚不停行走，
我靠他们走遍城市和水洼，
海滩、荒漠、山林和平原，
还有你的家、你的庭院、你的小镇。
感谢生活，生活对我意重情深，
伊给了我这样一颗心，
当我看到丰硕的人的思维，
当我看到善良远离邪恶，
当我望穿你清澈双眼，
这颗心就情不自禁激动万分。
感谢生活，生活对我意重情深，
伊给了我泪水和欢笑，
教我分辨苦难和幸福，
我的歌跟你们的歌由这两部份组成，
你们的歌声就是我的歌声。
