Lyrics

Under a sky of azure, Where balmy breezes blow, Kissed by the golden sunshine, Is Nuevo México. Land of the Montezuma, With fiery hearts aglow, Land of the deeds historic, Is Nuevo México.

O, Fair New Mexico, We love, we love you so, Our hearts with pride o'reflow, No matter where we go. O, Fair New Mexico, We love, we love you so, The grandest state to know New Mexico.

Rugged and high sierras, With deep canyons below, Dotted with fertile valleys, Is Nuevo México. Fields full of sweet alfalfa, Richest perfumes bestow, State of apple blossoms, Is Nuevo México.

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.

Days that are full of heart-dreams, Nights when the moon hangs low; Beaming its benedictions, O'er Nuevo México. Land with its bright mañana, Coming through weal and woe; State of esperanza, Is Nuevo México.

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.
