Guanacaste can refer to:
Enterolobium cyclocarpum, commonly known as guanacaste, caro caro, or elephant-ear tree, is a species of flowering tree in the pea family, Fabaceae, that is native to tropical regions of the Americas, from central Mexico south to northern Brazil (Roraima) and Venezuela. It is known for its large proportions, its expansive, often spherical crown, and its curiously shaped seedpods. The abundance of this tree, especially in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, where it is prized for the shady relief it provides from the intense sun, coupled with its immensity, have made it a widely recognized species. It is the national tree of Costa Rica.
In North America it is often called elephant-ear tree, due to the shape of the seedpods. Other common names include Devil's ear and earpod tree, parota and orejón (Spanish) or huanacaxtle (Nahuatl). In El Salvador, it is known as conacaste.
The guanacaste is a medium-sized to large tree, growing to 25–35 m tall, with a trunk up to 3.5 m in diameter. Unusual in a tree of these proportions, buttresses are completely lacking. The bark is light gray, with prominent dark reddish-brown vertical fissures. In young trees these fissures are closer together. and their confluence lends a characteristic reddish hue to the bark of guanacaste saplings. Older specimens often present broken, chipped or scarred bark.
The smoke is rambling on the shining water
And songs of cannons glorify the death
The clash of steel is all you hear you're sentenced
And blood is running down the afterdeck
Battle rages on
And your hope is gone
[Chorus:]
Trapped in this hell your dying soul is trembling
Taste my soot, taste my blood
Nowhere to run now do you feel me breathing
On your back, time to die
The glowing sheets won't catch the wind of rescue
And broken mast can't hold your flag no more
The gallows pole is only dream you suffer
Again the living envy to the dead
Battle rages on
And your hope is gone
