To the fearless & Loyal Lovers & Faithful companions!
Passion, Poder, Poeta
Thanks to life which has given me so much
gave me two eyes that when I open
perfectly distinguish black from white
and in the sky above, her starry backdrop
and in the multitudes, the man I love.
Thanks to life which has given me so much
has given me sound and the alphabet
with the words that I think and declare
mother, friend, brother and the illuminating light
to the path of the soul that I love.
Thanks to life which has given me so much
It's given motion to these tired feet.
With them, I have traversed 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
gave me the heart that flutters in its framework
when I see the fruit of the human brain
when I look good so far from bad,
when I look at the bottom of your light eyes.
Thanks to life which has given me so much
has given me laughter and tears,
as I distinguish between joy and pain
the two materials that make up my song;
which is the same song as yours
and the song of all which is my own song.
Gracias a la Vida
Gracias a la Vida
Gracias a la Vida
Thanks to life.
