Thanks to life, which has given me so much
He gave me two stars, that when I open them,
I perfectly distinguish black from white
And in the high sky its starry background
And in the crowds the man I love
Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It has given me the ear that in all its width
Record night and day, crickets and canaries,
Hammers, turbines, barks, showers,
And the tender voice of my beloved
Thanks to life, which has given me so much
He has given me the sound and the alphabet;
With him the words that I think and declare:
Mother, friend, brother, and light shining
The path of the soul of the one I am loving
Thanks to life, which 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
Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It gave me the heart that shakes its frame
When I look at the fruit of the human brain,
When I look at the good so far from the bad,
When I look into the depths of your clear eyes
Thanks to life, which has given me so much
It has made me laugh and it has made me cry
This is how I distinguish happiness from loss,
The two materials that make up my song,
And your song, which is my own song,
And everyone's song that is my own song
Thanks to the life that has given me so much
