I remember Santana's middle name as 'Venceslau' only too well since the days of the Portuguese Primary School when we were young. As was the custom in the old days to christen a child with a second name of the day's Saint - 28th September being dedicated to St. Venceslau (Port.) or St. Wenceslaus (Eng.). Every year during Christmas time, I remembered Santana when the famous Carol 'Good King Wencenlaus' played on radio or stereo.
Even when we close our eyes
ReplyDeleteThere’s an image of your face
And once again we come to realize
You’re a loss we can’t replace.
It has been 15 days since you have left us.We miss you dearly dearest Santana.
