| | From “New Mexico Songs”
DO not bring me riches | |
| From your store in the Andes, | |
| Do not bring me treasures | |
| From deep ocean caves. | |
| Bring me but yourself | 5 |
| And I’ll gladly go with you, | |
| Bring me but yourself, | |
| And I will not be sorry. | |
| |
| Do not bring me patterns | |
| Of silks or of satins, | 10 |
| Do not bring me silver | |
| Or gold wrung from slaves. | |
| Bring me but yourself, | |
| And my heart will rest easy, | |
| And your head will be light | 15 |
| With my breast as its pillow. | |
| |
| Do not bring me servants | |
| Or oxen or cattle, | |
| Or sheep for the shearing | |
| Or ships from the waves. | 20 |
| Bring me but yourself | |
| For my share and my treasure, | |
| Then our fortune will grow | |
| And will never diminish. | | | | |
|
