Lyrics

Español

Gracias, porque al borde del abismo cuando estaba ya perdido animaste mi esperanza. Gracias, por el bien que a mi existencia sin fortuna trajo la ternura de tu voz. Gracias, por la aurora que encendiste por la fe que me enseñaste por la vida que me diste. Gracias, porque un día me salvaste de vivir sin corazón con tu canción. En cien noches de dolor te llamó mi oración y el milagro de tu amor a mi voz respondió. En la oscura cerrazón de mi vida fue tu amor como una estrella encendida y hoy le doy gracias a Dios por tu amor y mi amor.

English · machine translation

Thank you, because at the edge of the abyss when I was already lost you encouraged my hope. Thank you for the good for the good that to my existence without fortune brought by the tenderness of your voice. Thank you for the dawn for the dawn you kindled for the faith you taught me for the life you gave me. Thank you for because one day you saved me from living without a heart with your song. In a hundred nights of pain my prayer called out to you and the miracle of your love answered my voice. In the dark darkness of my life your love was like a lighted star and today I thank God for your love and my love.
