Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
Medi dos luceros que cuando los abro
Perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco
Y en alto cielo su fondo estrellado
Y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo
Gracias a lavida, que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado el odo que en todo su ancho
Graba noche y dia grillos y canarios
Martillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubazcos,
Y la voz tan tierna de mi bienamado
Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado el sonido y el abecedario
Con l las palabras que pienso y declaro
Madre, amigo,hermano y luz alumbrando
La tura del almadel que estoy amando
Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
Me di el corazn 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 marcha de mis pies cansados
Con elos anduve ciudades y charcos
Playas y desiertos, montaas y llanos
Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio
Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto
Asi 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
Gracias la vida... gracias a la vida

Elis Regina Carvalho Costa, nota semplicemente come Elis Regina (1945-1982), è stata una delle più importanti e influenti cantanti brasiliane di tutti i tempi. Nata a Porto Alegre, in Brasile, Elis iniziò la sua carriera musicale all'età di 16 anni, vincendo un concorso canoro locale. Nel corso degli anni '60, si affermò come artista di grande talento, interpretando con passione e intensità canzoni del repertorio brasiliano tradizionale, bossa nova e samba. La sua voce potente e versatile le permise di affrontare diversi generi musicali, dal jazz al rock, dimostrando una straordinaria capacità di adattamento e innovazione. Elis Regina collaborò con alcuni dei più grandi compositori brasiliani, tra cui Tom Jobim, Chico Buarque e Caetano Veloso. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "Falso Brilhante" (1973), "Elis and Tom" (1974) e "Ginga" (1980). Elis Regina è stata una figura iconica della cultura brasiliana, la cui musica continua ad essere apprezzata e celebrata in tutto il mondo.
