Soy Tico

I'm Costa Rican

Because I carry Costa Rica in my soul
Because I cry when I hear a guitar
When the marimba trembles and the sun sets
I'm Costa Rican and if I look out the window
The mountains captivate me and my heart is filled with joy

I'm Costa Rican

Because I feel the songs of my land
Because I vibrate with the Liberian Moon
Nicoyan Little Horse, The Patriotic and Passion
I'm Costa Rican and when I see the dawn
The yigüirro's lament, accelerates my emotions

And when the heavy downpours come
It's as if I were the seed
The path smells like fertile soil to me
Filling my simple soul with hope

I'm Costa Rican because every time I meet
A foreign friend, I show them my warmth
I'm Costa Rican because I live in love
And proud of the land that has inspired my song

And when the heavy downpours come
It's as if I were the seed
The path smells like fertile soil to me
Filling my simple soul with hope

I'm Costa Rican because a purple guaria
Adorns my gaze and truly impresses me
I'm Costa Rican and if that doesn't tell you anything
I'll show you my homeland, give me the opportunity
