Thanks to Life

(Violeta Parra)

Thanks to life, that has given me so much.
It gave me two orbs, and when I open them,
I can perfectly distinguish black from white
And the starry expanse of the sky above
And in the multitude, the man I love.

Thanks to life, that has given me so much.
It has given me sound, to hear its greatness
The record of hammers, turbines, barking, showers,
Crickets and canaries, night and day,
And the tender words my beloved will say.

Thanks to life, that has given me so much.
It has given me sound and the alphabet;
With all the words that I think and pronounce:
Mother, friend, brother, and light illuminating
And the route of the soul of the one I am loving.

Thanks to life, that has given me so much.
It has given me the march of my tired feet;
That walk me through these cities, these pools,
Mountains, broad beaches and deserts below,
And your house, your street and your patio.

Thanks to life, that has given me so much.
It gave me a heart that pounds in its cage
When I look at the fruits of the human mind,
When I look at how far apart are the evil and the wise,
When I look deep into your clear eyes.

Thanks to life, that has given me so much.
It has given me laughter and it has given me weeping.
That's how I distinguish happiness from sorrow,
The two materials that form my song,
And the song of all of you, which is the same song,
And the song of everything, which is my own song.
Thanks to life, that has given me so much.
