Your music sweet as daylight dies.

It ever yearns

To hear the desert breezes blow,

Your snow, your rain, your rainbows' blend,

I'm proud of my New Mexico.

Yo canto de un pais lindo

Mas bello no he visto yo,

Mi cancion no puede decirlo,

Como mi corazon.

Nuevo Mexico,

Pais del sol

Palmillas floreciendo alli.

Nuevo Mexico,

Tus noches lindas

Traen recuerdos para mi.

Llora por ti me dice a mi

Te quiero yo.

Tus sierras y tus valles

Son mi lindo Nuevo Mexico.
