| English Version I’m singing a song of my homeland Most wonderful place that I’ve seen. My song cannot fully describe it I call it land of my dreams. New Mexico, Land of the sun Where yucca blooms The sunset sighs. New Mexico, Your starry nights, Your music sweet as daylight dies. My heart returns It ever yearns To hear the desert breezes blow, Your snow, your rain, your rainbows’ blend, I’m proud of my New Mexico. |
Spanish Translation Spanish Translation: 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. Mi corazon Llora por ti me dice a mi Te quiero yo. Tus sierras y tus valles Son mi lindo Nuevo Mexico. |
