Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Say it slow, don’t rush
Ask for help with a smile
In Costa Rica, keep it warm
And keep it simple for a while

You can start with this line
“¿Qué me recomienda hacer?”
It means, “What do you recommend I do?”
That’s the phrase you want right there

[Pre-Chorus]
Queh meh ray-co-myen-dah ah-ser
Keep each piece nice and clear
Queh meh ray-co-myen-dah ah-ser
Say it back and make it yours, yeah

[Chorus]
¿Qué me recomienda hacer?
(qué me recomienda hacer)
What do you recommend I do?
(what do you recommend I do)

¿Qué me recomienda hacer?
(qué me recomienda hacer)
That’s the phrase to get you through
(that’s the phrase to get you through)

[Verse 2]
If you want it more polite
Add “por favor” at the end
“¿Qué me recomienda hacer, por favor?”
That’s how friendly speakers blend

If they answer fast, just nod
You can say “gracias” too
If they give you options, listen close
Then choose what fits for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Queh meh ray-co-myen-dah ah-ser
Let the rhythm guide your tongue
Queh meh ray-co-myen-dah ah-ser
In Costa Rica, you’re already won

[Chorus]
¿Qué me recomienda hacer?
(qué me recomienda hacer)
What do you recommend I do?
(what do you recommend I do)

¿Qué me recomienda hacer?
(qué me recomienda hacer)
Say it once, then say it through
(say it once, then say it through)

[Bridge]
Now practice with a local voice
Not too stiff, just natural flow
Friendly eyes, a small smile
That’s the best way words can go

Try it on a café line
Try it when you need a plan
Ask for what to do next
And you’ll sound like you understand

[Chorus]
¿Qué me recomienda hacer?
(qué me recomienda hacer)
What do you recommend I do?
(what do you recommend I do)

¿Qué me recomienda hacer?
(qué me recomienda hacer)
Costa Rican Spanish, you can too
(Costa Rican Spanish, you can too)
