The Santa Fé Fiesta Song

Contributed by

Santa Fé Fiesta Song - Spanish


Music by Billy Palau, Spanish Lyrics by Johnny Valdes, Jr.


Santa Fe, tus fiestas de septiembre
Se celebran en la capital
Con Zozobra quemando las penas
Ya las fiestas van a comenzar
Tus mujeres llenas de alegria
Pregonando van su nuevo amor
A a luz de grandes luminarias
Van cantando con placer esta cancion

Si Señor, como no, vamonos al vacilon
A bailar y gozar de esta linda poblacion
