§ 12-3-11. State poem
Status: in_force

The poem “A Nuevo México”, written by Luis Tafoya in January 1911, is declared to be the official state poem. The poem, with its English translation, is as follows:

“Levanta, Nuevo México, esa abatida frente

que anubla los encantos de tu serena faz,

y alborozado acoje corona refulgente,

símbolo de gloria y de ventura y paz.

Después de tantos años de lucha y de porfía,

tu suerte se ha cambiado y ganas la victoria,

llegando a ver por fin el venturoso día

que es colmo de tu dicha y fuente de tu gloria.

Has sido un gran imperio, colmado de riqueza,

y grandes contratiempos tuviste que sufrir,

mas ahora triunfo pleno alcanza tu entereza,

y el premio a tu constancia pudiste conseguir.

Tu pueblo por tres siglos aislado y solitario,

de nadie tuvo ayuda, de nadie protección,

luchó por su existencia osado y temerario,

sellando con su sangre dominio y posesión.

Tras tan heroico esfuerzo por fin has merecido

el bien que procurabas con insistencia tanta

de que en la Unión de Estados fueses admitido

con la soberanía que al hombre libre encanta.

Obstáculos y estorbos del todo desaparecen,

y entrada libre tienes a la gloriosa Unión,

en donde los ciudadanos prosperan y florecen,

con tantas garantías y tanta protección.

Por tan pasmosa dicha el parabién te damos,

a tí como a tus hijos, de honor tan señalado,

y que en tu nueva esfera de veras esperamos

que a fuer de gran imperio seras un gran estado.

TO NEW MEXICO

Lift, New Mexico, your tired forehead

That clouds the enchantment of your peaceful face,

And joyfully receive the bright crown,

Symbol of glory, venture, and peace.

After so many years of fight and persistence

Your luck has changed and you gain victory,

Reaching up to see your fortunate day at last

That is an overflow of happiness and the fountain of your glory.

You have been a great empire filled with riches,

And many mishaps you had to suffer,

But now complete triumph reach up to your integrity,

And reward for your constancy, you were able to achieve.

Your people for three centuries, isolated and lonely,

With help or protection from nobody,

They fought for their existence, reckless and daring

Sealing with their blood their dominion and possession.

After such heroic effort finally you deserve

The goodness with such an insistence you procure,

To be admitted in the state of the union

With the sovereignty that is a free man's enchantment.

Obstacles and hindrance for good they disappear,

And free admittance you have to the glorious union,

Where the people prosper and flourish

With so many guarantees and great protection.

For that marvelous satisfaction we welcome you,

You and your children such a deserved honor,

And in your new sphere we truly hope

That by dint of imperiousness a great state you will become”.
