Gracias a La Vida Video (MV)

Gracias a la vida, life has given me so much
The large and the small things
Two eyes to see all things
To perfectly distinguish the blackness from the whiteness
And in the sky the brightness of the stars above me
And in the crowded streets, I can pick out the one who loves me

Gracias a la vida, life has given me so much
Gave me sounds I can't forget
And all the letters of the alphabet
To make the words and the phrases
That tell my heart's desire
Like mother, friend, and fire
And light that shows clearly
The path of the soul of the one I love so dearly

Gracias a la vida, life has given me so much
Gave me hearing and memory
To record nature's melody
I hear the crickets and canaries
And giant hammers pounding
Thunder resounding, and the cry of the starling
And the sweet and tender voice of my own dear darling

Gracias a la vida (gracias a la vida)
Life has given me so much (gracias a la vida)
Tired feet for travelling
And roads for unravelling
I wandered through the cities
The prairies and the mountains
Saw the streams and the fountains
But my sweetest hours
Were on the street where you live, in your house, with your garden flowers

Gracias a la vida

Gracias a la vida (gracias a la vida)
Life has given me so much (gracias a la vida)
Gave me all of the laughter
And the weeping that comes after
So I can perfectly distinguish the joy from the sorrow
Two things I borrow to make melody
I'll hold the guitar, but you gave the song to me

Es el canto de ustedes que es mi propio canto
El canto de todos, que es el mismo canto

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
