United in Pride: A Costa Rican Independence Day Tribute

And we are all from Costa Rica today 

And we all stand so tall

And so proud celebrating

Our special day and we’ll 

Remember our loved 

Ones who have sadly 

Passed away fighting for

Our Independence day and there 

Inside our hearts every day and 

We’ll never forget them and 

United as one we stand 

And our voices are clear

And strong and proud and we 

Are all from Costa Rica 

And the fireworks are lighting 

Up the sky tonight 

And we will all rejoice

In unity and we stand tall 

And proud Costa Rican 

Men and women 

And we will sing the 

Anthem of our nation

For justice and equality 

And deep inside our hearts 

Costa Rica will forever be

And our children will wave

The Costa Rican flags

Flying them high in the sky

And we all feel a sense of 

Pride and joy in Costa Rica 

And for the freedom we all get to share

And a new generation has begun and

Together we embrace each other with a 

Smile on our faces and holding 

Each other in our warm brotherly embrace 

United as one loving country Costa Rica

For our nation’s future is bright and clear

Costa Rica is peaceful and beautiful 

So on this day of freedom 

As we stand together without fear

And our country Costa Rica we hold 

Deeply inside our hearts 

And we’ll sing and dance

Having some romance

And we’ll stop and pray for 

Our loved ones who are 

Not here on this special day so 

God bless you all and 

Happy independence day to 

Everyone who’s from our beloved 

Costa Rica today.
