Gracias por la música [English translation]

I'm very simple,

And somewhat boring perhaps,

The jokes I say, probably come out backwards,

But there is a talent, in my being,

And it's that people listen to me when I sing,

And it makes me happy,

I can say this proudly, that's why...

I want to thank the songs

That conveyed such emotions,

I want to give thanks,

For what they've made me feel, I must admit

That music makes life worth living,

That's why I'm thankful,

For this gift in me.

Everyone said I was a precocious girl,

I danced and sang and I excelled through my voice,

And today I wonder for what reason

A simple song always attracts

The most attention ,

If it's sung from the heart, that's why

I want to thank the songs

That conveyed such emotions,

I want to give thanks,

For what they've made me feel, I must admit

That music makes life worth living,

That's why I'm thankful,

For this gift in me.

How lucky I have been,

I am happy when I sing,

I want everyone to enjoy this together,

Oh what happiness, what pleasure, to exclaim.

I want to thank the songs

That conveyed such emotions,

I want to give thanks,

For what they've made me feel, I must admit

That music makes life worth living,

That's why I'm thankful,

For this gift in me.

That's why I'm thankful,

For this gift in me.
