Costa Rica lyrics

Costa Rica, la casa Pura Vida!
(Costa Rica, the home of pure living)
Punta Mona, roots! permaculture
(Punta Mona, permie farm on the Caribbean)

Stephen's smoking fish just right
Sarah's got the beans and rice
Spirits of the afternoon are
Flowing through the heart of time
Slowing us down to a Caribbean beat
Singing so soft with their silent feet
Incantations of peace on earth,
Good vibrations,
What is love worth
Just listen, we're circling in the kitchen
There's nothing missing
Getting well, we're just blissing

Costa Rica
La casa, Pura Vida!
Punta Mona
Roots! permaculture

Benja's got the permaculture rap
Earth care, people care, what's the haps?
Charing abundance the natural way
Watching the mama earth day by day
She's the one that makes it all real
Talk to me, friend, tell me how you feel
The problem's an opportunity
Inspiration's washing over me
I gotta get my hands in the dirt
I gotta wash my own stinky shirt
Come here to change my life, find out
I'm just fine
And happiness is a state of mind

El corazón is lleno de contestas
La cabeza as llena de preguntas
The head is full of questions
The heart is full of answers
So, where do you want to be?
Viva! En el corazon.

Costa Rica!
