Take me Home to Baños

Take me home to bñaos, through the paseo entre los montes
Take me home to where I belong,
Where the plants grow wild and the rushing rapids carry water to the masses
I may not have been born here but I’ve lived here all along

A land where bars are run by cats
Coming is easy but leaving takes a toll on the soul
The food will warm you, the baths will feed you
The hostels will house you but I’m afraid you’ll have to cloth yourself

The days are clear while the nights bring cloudbursts to feed the land
The plants and the waterfalls grow vast and sturdy
Under the watchful eye and loving care of the medio ambiente
And the tourists bring money to complete the cycle

Pennies for the adventures of a lifetime
If you’re lucky you might catch a glimpse of the snowcapped volcano
Pila de la ciudad, it’s peak
Peeking through the cover of clouds
