Noble patria, tu hermosa bandera
expresión de tu vida nos da;
bajo el límpido 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. (bis)
¡Salve, o tierra gentil!
¡Salve, o madre de amor!
Cuando alguno pretenda
tu gloria manchar,
verás a tu pueblo valiente y viril,
la tosca herramienta en arma trocar.
Salve oh Patria tu pródigo suelo,
dulce abrigo y sustento nos da;
bajo el límpido azul de tu cielo
¡vivan siempre el trabajo y la paz!
expresión de tu vida nos da;
bajo el límpido azul de tu cielo
blanca y pura descansa la paz.
En la lucha tenaz, de fecunda labor

¡vivan siempre el trabajo y la paz!
Zeledon original Lyrics
In the original wording Zeledon, the first stanza read:
Costa Rica tu hermosa bandera
Expresión de tu vida nos da:
Bajo el manto azul de tu cielo
Blanca y pura descansa la paz.
And the final say:
'¡Salve, oh patria!, tu pródigo suelo
dulce abrigo y sustento nos da;
bajo el límpido azul de tu cielo,
¡Vivan siempre el trabajo y la paz!

Noble homeland, your beautiful flag
Proof of your life it gives us
Under the unsullied blue of your skies,
Peace rests, white and pure.
In the tenacious struggle of fruitful toil,
That which brings a glow to men's faces,
Your sons, simple farm hands,
Gained eternal renown, esteem and honor.
Eternal renown, esteem and honor.
Hail, gentle homeland!
Hail, mother of love!
When anyone should attempt to besmirch your glory,
You will see your people, valiant and virile,
The rustic tool into a weapon transform.
Hail, O homeland! Your prodigal soil
Sweet shelter and sustenance gives us.
Under the unsullied blue of your sky,
May peace and labor ever live!
Proof of your life it gives us
Under the unsullied blue of your skies,
Peace rests, white and pure.

That which brings a glow to men's faces,

hm, devo prendermi un po' di tempo per revisionare quello che scrivo ed eliminare i termini ridicolmente aulici.

La Costa Rica ha infatti il lodevole primato in quanto ad abolizione dell'esercito permanente, e se questo non lo rende esattamente un paese paradisiaco, gli ha di certo evitato tutte le sofferenze che hanno seguito i vari colpi di stato fascisti nell'area centro e sudamericana.
L'inno rispecchia quindi questa scelta, e per una volta non si parla di sangue da versare per la patria, di cannoni che tuonano. e in generale di morte, ma di "cielo limpido e azzuro" e "candida pace" per concludersi con l'esclamazione "vivano sempre il lavoro e la pace".
Mi sembra notevole, sicuramente innalza un po' tutta la categoria degli inni nazionali. A voi il giudizio se sia appropriato o meno.
