Hymn to the Great Green Macaw
 
 
Text and sound by Eduardo Artavia C.

Green macaws roam through the air
What is their destination?
You know it because you are free
You know where to alight for nesting

You may find your Almendro tree there
Which you have known for many years
Because that’s where you build your nests
and where you can forage for food

The Almendros are proud trees
And only you could save them
Because that’s where you hatch your chicks
and you feed them with the their fruit

Here in San Carlos we are all taking care of you
But you also fly to Sarapiquí
You circle in the skies of Nicaragua
But then you come back to us

Green macaws how we love them
Green macaws who are very happy
Green macaws for whom we care
No, they will never get extinct.
