Thanks to the life that has given me so much.
It gave me two stars that, when I open them,
perfectly I distinguish black from white,
and in the high sky its starry background
and in the crowds the man I love.
Thanks to the life that has given me so much.
It has given me the ear that, in all its width,
records crickets night and day and canaries;
hammers, turbines, barking, showers,
and the tender voice of my beloved.
Thank you to the life that has given me so much.
It has given me the sound and the alphabet,
with it the words that I think and declare:
mother, friend, brother, and light illuminating
the path of the soul of the one I am loving.
Thanks to the life that has given me so much.
It has given me the march of my tired feet;
with them I walked cities and puddles,
beaches and deserts, mountains and plains,
and your house, your street and your patio.
Thank you to the life that has given me so much.
It gave me the heart that shakes its frame
when I look at the fruit of human brain;
when I look at the good so far from the bad,
when I look at the depths of your clear eyes.
Thank you to the life that has given me so much.
It has given me laughter and it has given me tears.
This is how I distinguish happiness from brokenness,
the two materials that make up my song,
and your song, which is the same song
and everyone's song, which is my own song.
Thank you to the life that has given me so much.
