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

Ed Romero and I were discussing the Chili Line recently. It turns out we each had a grandfather who worked on it. Are there any other memories about it? Very little physical evidence and not many photos remain.
