In Costa Rica, the four powerhouses for folk music are Guanacaste, the Central Valley, Limon, and San Isidro del General; these styles are known respectively as música guanacasteca, música aldeana, música limonense, and música generalena.
This song Caña Dulce, sometimes also known as Caña dulce pa'moler, is a typical Costa Rican song, written in 1926. Its authors are José Joaquín Salas Pérez (lyrics) and José Daniel Zuñiga Zeledón (music). It is considered one of the national songs of Costa Rican folk music, and representative of the rhythm known as "Creole dance", typical of the Central Valley of Costa Rica. His lyrics are a remembrance of the bucolic Costa Rica and the happiness of the simple and rural life.
Caña Dulce
Lyrics by J. J. Salas Pérez
Music by J. Daniel Zuñiga
Caña dulce pa moler
cuando tenga mi casita:
¡Oh, qué suerte tan bonita
que pa mí tendrá que ser!
Cuando apunte el verolís
y yo viva con mi nena,
no tendré ninguna pena
y seré siempre feliz.
Tendré entonces mi casita
y una milpa y buenos bueyes
y seré como esos reyes
que no envidian ya nadita.
Con mi Dios y mi morena,
caña dulce y buen amor,
esta vida noble y buena
pasaré sin un rencor.
