Así Es Nuevo México

Así Es Nuevo México (English: "Such Is New Mexico") is the official Spanish language state song of the U.S. state of New Mexico, composed in a New Mexico music style. 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.^[2]

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 México Así es esta tierra del sol De sierras y valles de tierras frutales Así es Nuevo México 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 México Así es esta tierra del sol De sierras y valles de tierras frutales Así es Nuevo México 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 México Así es esta tierra del sol De sierras y valles de tierras frutales Así es Nuevo México 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 México Así es esta tierra del sol De sierras y valles de tierras frutales Así es Nuevo México 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 has no equal. That's how New Mexico is That's how this land of the sun is Of mountains and valleys of fruited lands That's how New Mexico is The black, the Hispanic, the Anglo, the Indian All are your children, all equally. Your cities and towns - my enchanted land Of beautiful women, which has no equal. That's how New Mexico is That's how this land of the sun is Of mountains and valleys of fruited lands That's how New Mexico is 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 has no equal. That's how New Mexico is That's how this land of the sun is Of mountains and valleys of fruited lands That's how New Mexico is Your fields are dressed with May flowers Of beautiful colors That God gifted them Your birds sing, my enchanted land, Their trills of love To the heavenly being. That's how New Mexico is That's how this land of the sun is Of mountains and valleys of fruited lands That's how New Mexico is My enchanted land bathed with history So pretty, so lovely - without comparison. I render you homage, I render you affection Valiant soldier - he renders to you his love.
