New Mexico State Song
"Asi es Nuevo Mejico"
Words and music by Amadeo Lucero
Adopted in 1971.
"Asi es Nuevo Mejico" was adopted in 1971 as New Mexico's Spanish language state song.
"Asi es Nuevo Mejico"
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)

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)

State Songs
|
|
|
Forty-nine states of the United States (all except New Jersey) have one or
more state songs, selected by the state legislature as a symbol of the state.
New Jersey does have an unofficial state song, "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen, but it
has not yet been approved by the state legislature.
Some states have more than one official state song, and may refer to some
of their official songs by other names; for example, Arkansas officially has two state
songs, a state anthem, and a state historical song. Also, Virginia does not presently have a
state song by that name, but it has given two songs official recognition under other names.
Arizona has a song that was written specifically as a state anthem in 1915, as well as the
1981 country hit Arizona, which it adopted as an alternate. |
