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 proteccion, lucho por su existencia osado y temerario, sellando con su sangre dominio y posesion. Tras tan heroico esfuerzo por fin has merecido el bien que procurabas con insistencia tanta de que en la Union de Estados fueses admitido con la soberania que al hombre libre encanta. Obstaculos y estorbos del todo desaparecen, y entrada libre tienes a la gloriosa Union, en donde los ciudadanos prosperan y florecen, con tantas garantias y tanta proteccion. Por tan pasmosa dicha el parabien te damos, a ti como a tus hijos, de honor tan senalado, 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".
