感謝生活
(摘自http://roxytom.bluecircus.net/archives/002020.html)

感謝生活 生活對我意重情深
伊給我1雙明眸
當我睜開眼睛
世間的一切黑白分明
我看見高空星光點綴的天幕
茫茫人海中我認出鍾愛的人
感謝生活 生活對我意重情深
伊給我敏銳聽力
記錄白晝、黑夜、蟋蟀、絲雀
以及敲擊、汽笛、犬吠與暴風雨的聲音
還有心愛的戀人溫柔呼喚聲
感謝生活 生活對我意重情深
伊教我發聲和認識字母
我用它們表達和思考
我從心底呼喚母親、朋友和兄弟
從此光明照亮我心路歷程
感謝生活 生活對我意重情深
伊讓我疲憊兩腳不停行走
我靠它們走遍城市、水窪、海灘、荒漠、山林和平原
還有你的家、你的庭院與你的小鎮
感謝生活 生活對我意重情深
伊給了我這樣1顆心
當我看到豐碩的人的思維
當我看到善良遠離邪惡
當我望穿你清澈雙眼
這顆心就情不自禁激動萬分
感謝生活 生活對我意重情深
伊給了我淚水和歡笑
教我分辨苦難和幸福
我的歌跟你們的歌由這兩部份湊成
你們的歌聲就是我的歌聲

Translation in English:

Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me two beams of light, that when opened,
Can perfectly distinguish black from white
And in the sky above, her starry backdrop,
And from within the multitude
The one that I love.

Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me an ear that, in all of its width
Records— night and day—crickets and canaries,
Hammers and turbines and bricks and storms,
And the tender voice of my beloved.

Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me sound and the alphabet.
With them the words that I think and declare:
"Mother," "Friend," "Brother" and the light shining.
The route of the soul from which comes love.

Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me the ability to walk with my tired feet.
With them I have traversed cities and puddles
Valleys 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 a heart, that causes my frame to shudder,
When I see the fruit of the human brain,
When I see good so far from bad,
When I see within the clarity of your eyes...

Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me laughter and it gave me longing.
With them I distinguish happiness and pain—
The two materials from which my songs are formed,
And your song, as well, which is the same song.
And everyone's song, which is my very song.

Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
