O, fair New Mexico

1. Under a sky of azure,
Where balmy breezes blow;
Kissed by the golden sunshine,
Is Nuevo México.

Home of the Montezuma,
With fiery heart aglow,
State of the deeds historic,
Is Nuevo México.

Chorus:
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.

2. 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.

Chorus

3. Days that are full of heart-dreams,
Nights when the moon hangs low;
Beaming its benediction,
O’er Nuevo México.

Land with its bright mañana,
Coming through weal and woe;
State of our esperanza,
Is Nuevo México.

Chorus
