Así Es Nuevo Méjico

Así Es Nuevo Méjico (English: "Such Is New Mexico") is the official Spanish language State Song of the U.S. State of New Mexico. The words and music were created by contemporary composer Amadeo Lucero. It was performed with guitar accompaniment to the assembled members of the Legislature by Lieutenant Governor Roberto Mondragón at the opening session in 1971. It was enthusiastically received and promptly adopted as the Spanish-language version of the State Song.^[1]

Literal English Translation

Un canto que traigo muy dentro del alma Lo canto a mi estado - mi tierra natal. De flores dorada mi tierra encantada De lindas mujeres - que no tiene igual. Así es Nuevo Méjico Así es esta tierra del sol De sierras y valles de tierras frutales Así es Nuevo Méjico El negro, el hispano, el anglo, el indio Todos son tus hijos, todos por igual. Tus pueblos y aldeas - mi tierra encantada De lindas mujeres que no tiene igual. Así es Nuevo Méjico Así es esta tierra del sol De sierras y valles de tierras frutales Así es Nuevo Méjico El Río del Norte, que es el Río Grande, Sus aguas corrientes fluyen hasta el mar Y riegan tus campos Mi tierra encantada de lindas mujeres Que no tiene igual. Así es Nuevo Méjico Así es esta tierra del sol De sierras y valles de tierras frutales Así es Nuevo Méjico Tus campos se visten de flores de Mayo De lindos colores Que Dios les dotó Tus pájaros cantan mi tierra encantada Sus trinos de amores Al ser celestial. Así es Nuevo Méjico Así es esta tierra del sol De sierras y valles de tierras frutales Así es Nuevo Méjico Mi tierra encantada de historia bañada Tan linda, tan bella - sin comparación. Te rindo homenaje, te rindo cariño Soldado valiente - te rinde su amor.

A song that I carry deep in my soul I sing it to my state - my native land. Of golden flowers my enchanted land Of beautiful women - which have no equal. Thus is New Mexico Thus is this land of sun Of mountains and valleys of fertile soil Thus is New Mexico The black, the Hispanic, the Anglo, the Indian All are your children, all are equal. Your cities and towns - my enchanted land Of beautiful women, which have no equal. Thus is New Mexico Thus is this land of sun Of mountains and valleys of fertile soil Thus is New Mexico The River of the North, which is the Rio Grande, Its running waters flow to the sea And irrigate your fields My enchanted land of beautiful women Which have no equal. Thus is New Mexico Thus is this land of sun Of mountains and valleys of fertile soil Thus is New Mexico Your fields are dressed with May flowers Of beautiful colors That God gave them Your birds sing, my enchanted land, Their trills of love For the heavenly being. Thus is New Mexico Thus is this land of sun Of mountains and valleys of fertile soil Thus is New Mexico My enchanted land bathed with history So pretty, so lovely - without comparison. I surrender homage to you, I surrender tenderness Valiant soldier - he surrenders to you his love.
