Today's song challenge is to post- A song that you know all the words to.
So, in honor of my country I am very proud and happy to post the Costa Rica National Anthem, because there's no better song to celebrate such an important date and milestone for my wonderful little country.
Plus, I know all the words to it!
And in case you don't speak any Spanish, here's the translation for it.
Noble homeland, your beautiful flag
Express for us your life:
Under the limpid blue of your skies,
Peace reigns, white and pure.
In the tenacious battle of fruitful toil,
That brings a glow to men's faces,
Your sons, simple farm hands,
Gained eternal renown, esteem and honour,
Gained eternal renown, esteem and honour.
Hail, gentle country!
Hail, loving mother!
If anyone should attempt to besmirch your glory,
You will see your people, valiant and virile,
Exchange their rustic tools for weapons.
Hail, O homeland! Your prodigal soil
Gives us sweet sustenance and shelter.
Under the limpid blue of your sky,
May peaceful labour ever continue.
Express for us your life:

In the tenacious battle of fruitful toil,

Under the limpid blue of your sky,
May peaceful labour ever continue.

Happy Independence day!
Viva Costa Rica!! Happy Independence Day to a beautiful country!
Happy independence day - love the words of the anthem!
Sorry for my absence recently - too many cats. The season is drawing to a close here and as people are leaving the cats are dropping into our garden. No other places to find food! On top of everything else (the new kitten to care for) Tiny, my first Greeek rescue, has gone astray and I find is very difficult to find peace of mind. But I'm delighted to hear of your success with the ferals - it sounds just brilliant with the neutering!
Happy Independence Day! We visited Costa Rica a couple years ago and loved it. It's truly a beautiful country, and we'd love to go back again someday!
Happy Independence day :D
Beautiful! Happy Independence Day!! (it's on my office calendar that it's Independence Day for you..WOO HOO!!)
Happy Independence day to your beautiful country!! :)
