Chorus:
Thanks for all that You've created,

Thanks for what You've given me.


Verse 1
For our eyesight,

A friend or two,

For what I have in the world.

For the song which flows,

And a forgiving heart -

Because of all this - I exist.

 

Thanks for all that You've created,

Thanks for what You've given me.


Verse 2
For a child's laughter,

And the blue sky,

For the earth - and a warm home.

A corner to sit in,

A loving woman,

Because of all this - I exist.

 


Thanks for all that You've created,

Thanks for what You've given me.



Verse 3
For a day of happiness,

Innocence and honesty,

For the sad day - which passed and disappeared.

Two thousand cheers,
and hands clapping.

Because of all this - I exist.

Ola Kala All is well

'Ola kalá ki óla oréa.
Chtes* ísoun m'álone paréa.
Ke pu sokáki na traguthísis?
Then epitréponde i anamnísis.

Míla sigá ke mi fonázis.
'Imeh kutós ke me tromázis.
Then thélo kósmo ke fasaría.
'Avrio béno stin aneryía.

'Echo psichí then écho vrácho.
Páli me áfises monácho.
Keh mia siméa s'éna balkóni
Allázi chrómata ke me skotóni.

All's well and all's fine.
Yesterday you were in the company of another.
And where is there an alley to sing?
Memories are not allowed.

Speak softly and don't shout.
I am simple-minded and you frighten me.
I don't want crowds and trouble.
Tomorrow I'll be unemployed.

I have a soul, I'm not a rock.
You've abandoned me again.
And a flag on a balcony
Changes colours and slays me.

   
* Ch pronounced as a guttural H
like the Hebrew 'chet', but not as strong.

GRACIAS

Estribillo:

Gracias por lo que has creado,

gracias por lo que me has dado

 

(Gracias) por la luz de los ojos

por uno o dos amigos,

por lo que tengo en el mundo.

 

Por una canción que fluye

y un corazón que perdona,

ya que por ellos estoy vivo.

 

Gracias por lo que has creado,

gracias por lo que me has dado.

 

(Gracias) por la risa de un niño,

por el cielo celeste, por la tierra,

por un hogar cálido.

Por un rincón en donde estar, por una mujer

que me ama,

ya que por ellos estoy vivo

 

Gracias por lo que has creado,

gracias por lo que me has dado

 

(Gracias) por un día de felicidad,

por la inocencia y la rectitud,

por un día triste que ha desaparecido.

Por los miles de aplausos

ya que por ellos estoy vivo.
