Tan Linda Era Costa Rica
Tan linda era costa rica
Que la virgen de los ángeles bajó
Y cuando la vio tan distinta
Al cielo mejor regresó
Vió cambios en alajuela en cartago
Puntarenas y limón
Y en guanacaste que es tierra
Símbolo de esta gran nación
Salir a la calle es una tortura
En costa rica ya no es la de ayer
Y en su meseta y por desventura
Luce el desastre de su san josé
Era tan linda costa rica y ahora
Lo lindo casi se le acaba
Era tan linda costa rica y ahora
Lo lindo casi se le acaba
El problema costarricense
Es que casi nadie aprecia su folklore
Lo mismo que heredia gobierne
A no verse completo hoy
De sus costumbres mas sanas
Ya sabemos que nunca mas volverán
Han de pensar que mañana
Las cosas van a mejorar
De la caña se hace el guaro
Que caramba si la caña es buena fruta
Si la caña se machuca que caramba el guaro también se chupa
Tu eras la que me decía que nunca me olvidarías
Vamonos emborrachando
Que caramba y hasta que amanezca el día
Vamonos emborrachando
Que caramba y hasta que amanezca el día
Salir a la calle es una tortura
En costa rica ya no es la de ayer
Y en su meseta y por desventura
Luce el desastre de su san josé
Era tan linda costa rica y ahora
Lo lindo casi se le acaba
Era tan linda costa rica y ahora
Lo lindo casi se le acaba
Era tan linda costa rica y ahora
Lo lindo casi se le acaba
Era tan linda costa rica y ahora
Lo lindo casi se le acaba
Costa Rica Was So Beautiful
Costa Rica was so beautiful
That the Virgin of the Angels came down
And when she saw it so different
She returned to the better heaven
She saw changes in Alajuela, in Cartago
Puntarenas and Limón
And in Guanacaste, which is land
Symbol of this great nation
Going out on the street is torture
In Costa Rica, it's not like yesterday
And on its plateau, unfortunately
The disaster of its San José shines
Costa Rica was so beautiful and now
The beauty is almost gone
Costa Rica was so beautiful and now
The beauty is almost gone
The Costa Rican problem
Is that almost no one appreciates its folklore
The same as Heredia governs
Not to be seen complete today
Of its healthiest customs
We know they will never return
They must think that tomorrow
Things will improve
From sugarcane comes the liquor
What the heck, if sugarcane is good fruit
If the sugarcane is crushed, what the heck, the liquor is also sucked
You were the one who told me you would never forget me
Let's get drunk
What the heck, until the day dawns
Let's get drunk
What the heck, until the day dawns
Going out on the street is torture
In Costa Rica, it's not like yesterday
And on its plateau, unfortunately
The disaster of its San José shines
Costa Rica was so beautiful and now
The beauty is almost gone
Costa Rica was so beautiful and now
The beauty is almost gone
Costa Rica was so beautiful and now
The beauty is almost gone
Costa Rica was so beautiful and now
The beauty is almost gone
