Así Es Nuevo Méjico
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Así Es Nuevo Méjico (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.
O Fair New Mexico is the English language State Song of New Mexico.

Un canto que traigo muy dentro del alma Así es Nuevo Méjico El negro, el hispano, el anglo, el indio Así es Nuevo Méjico El Río del Norte, que es el Río Grande, Así es Nuevo Méjico Tus campos se visten de flores de Mayo Así es Nuevo Méjico Mi tierra encantada de historia bañada |
A song that I carry deep in my soul Thus is New Mexico The black, the hispanic, the white, the Indian Thus is New Mexico The River of the North, which is the Rio Grande, Thus is New Mexico Your fields are dressed with May flowers Thus is New Mexico My enchanted land bathed with history |
