Joan Baez - Gracias a la vida
Descripción en Youtube:
Live at Festival des Vieilles Charrues, Carhaix, Bretagne, FRANCE, 2000. This is one of Joan Baez's classics, although it's a cover of a song written by a Chilean folk singer and visual artist: Violeta Parra, who committed suicide in 1967. Her song "Gracias a la vida", composed one year before her death, is one of the most covered latin american songs.

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto me ha dado el oido que en todo su ancho graba noche y dia grillos y canarios martillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubascos y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado. Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto me ha dado el sonido y el abedecedario con él las palabras que pienso y declaro madre amigo hermano y luz alumbrando, la ruta del alma del que estoy amando. Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos, playas y desiertos montañas y llanos y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio. Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto me dio el corazón que agita su marco cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano, 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, así yo distingo dicha de quebranto los dos materiales que forman mi canto y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto.
