Tan Linda Era Costa Rica
El Guato
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
