was last Friday. His class had the honor of singing the Costa Rica National Anthem at their graduation ceremony--this was a few days after the ceremony, hence the forgetfulness, but it was still cute!
Costa Rica
Noble patria tu hermosa bandera
expresion de tu vida nos da
bajo el limpido azul de tu cielo
blanca y pura descansa la paz
En la lucha tenaz, de fecunda labor
que enrojece del hombre la faz
conquistaron tus hijos labriegos, sencillos
eterno prestigio, estima y honor
eterno prestigio, estima y honor
Salve oh tierra gentil
Salve oh madre de amor
Cuando alguno pretenda
tu gloria manchar
ver�s a tu pueblo valiente y viril
la tosca herramienta en arma trocar
Noble patria tu pr�digo suelo
dulce abrigo y sustento nos da
bajo el l�mpido azul de tu cielo
vivan siempre el trabajo y la paz
English: Noble homeland, your beautiful flag
Expresses 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.
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.
