Gracias a la vida, 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.

  • Very nice but i think i still prefer early Mercedes Sosa's voice and interpretation for this particular song. Thanks for posting this song.

  • Gracias a la vida, fue escrita y cantada por Violeta Parra. La familia Parra es de origen judío converso. Así que es de gran honor que la interprete Yasmin Levi. El único detalle, es que exagera un poco en la forma que la canta

    Gracias a la Vida (Thanks to Life), was written and sung by Violeta Parra. The Parra's family is a jewish conversos. So it's a great honor that Yasmin Levi puts it in her repertoire. The only detail is that she exaggerates a little in the way to sing it

  • @MrHtoreyes FALSO

    Compuesta y escrita e interpretada por VIOLETA PARRA

  • copia de shakira!! igual de gritonas y con gallos en sus voces, con todo respeto pero ninguna me gusta...

  • Gracias a la vida, es una canción sefardí que tiene más de 500 años, Violeta Parra era una recopiladora de Canciones tradicionales.

    Otra canción Casamiento de Negros es de Quevedo, también muy antigua.

  • Varie nice ilov u Yasmin

  • @gitemenos You are arabic then u have so much in common with this..remember al andalus...where the jews and muslims lived in peace until the catholics took over and then everything changed. Beautiful ALANDALUS.

  • @gitemenos Its a mix between spanish hebrew and some arabic words too...it has mostly spanish words it is a formal language but not taught in schools unfortunately, people need to save it, most people that speak ladino are in israel, turkey...some in the US like new york city...some words are written differently although they are pronounced exactly like spanish. look up ladino :)

  • @bahraouik

    well thank you very much, i didn't know that, but what is the actual difference between spanish and ladino? it has to do with the accent or with the way it is written? i mean it is translated as spanish or ladino is a a formal language? forgive my questions but i am not familiar with this language :).

  • @gitemenos Its not spanish, its ladino...the spanish of the jews that were expelled from spain in 1492 a lot of them went to turkey where she is from. The muslim sultan yazid at the time let them come in. She is now in Israel but of turkish andalusian sephardic descent.

  • I love her voice ..she makes my Crying ..!! AMAZING ♥

  • she makes me wanna learn spanish!! just incredible!!!!
