NEW MEXICO STATE SONG

Written by Elizabeth Garrett, the blind daughter of famed Sheriff Pat Garrett. In 1917, Governor Washington E. Lindsey signed the legislation making O, Fair New Mexico the official State Song. In 1928 John Philip Sousa presented an arrangement of the state song to Governor A.T. Hannett and the people of New Mexico embracing a musical story of the Indian, the Cavalry, the Spanish, and the Mexican.
Asi Es Nuevo Mexico, written by contemporary composer Amadeo Lucero, was sung with guitar accompaniment to the assembled members of the 1971 Legislature by Lieutenant Governor Roberto Mondragon and was promptly adopted as the Spanish-language version of the State Song.

O, Fair New Mexico
Words and Music by Elizabeth Garrett

Under a sky of azure, where balmy breezes blow;
Kissed by the golden sunshine, is Nuevo Mejico.
Home of the Montezuma, with fiery heart aglow,
State of the deeds historic, is Nuevo Mejico.

(Chorus)

O, fair New Mexico, we love, we love you so
Our hearts with pride o'erflow, no matter where we go,
O, fair New Mexico, we love, we love you so,
The grandest state to know, New Mexico.

Second Verse
Rugged and high sierras, with deep canyons below;
Dotted with fertile valleys, is Nuevo Mejico.
Fields full of sweet alfalfa, richest perfumes bestow,
State of apple blossoms, is Nuevo Mejico.

(Chorus)

Third Verse
Days that are full of heart-dreams,
nights when the moon bangs low;
Beaming its benediction o'er Nuevo Mejico.
Land with its bright manana, coming through weal and woe;
State of our esperanza, is Nuevo Mejico.

(Chorus)

Asi es Nuevo Mejico
Letra y Musica de Amadeo Lucero

Un canto que traigo muy dentro del alma
Lo canto a mi estado, mi tierra natal.
De flores dorado mi tierra encantada
De lindas mujeres, que no tiene igual.

(Chorus)

Asi es Nuevo Mejico
Asi es esta tierra del sol
De sierras y valles de tierras frutales
Asi es Nuevo Mejico.

Second Verse
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.

(Chorus)

Third Verse
El Rio del Norte, que es el Rio Grande,
Sus aguas corrientes flueyen hasta el mar y
riegan tus campos
Mi tierra encantada de lindas mujeres
que no tiene igual.

(Chorus)

Fourth Verse
Tus campos se visten de flores de Mayo
De lindos colores
Que Dios les doto
Tus pajaros cantan mi tierra encantada
Sus trinos de amores
Al ser celestial.

(Chorus)

Fifth Verse
Mi tierra encantada de historia banada
Tan linda, tan bella, sin comparacion.
Te rindo homenaje, te rindo carino
Soldado valiente, te rinde su amor.

(Chorus)
