Lyrics

La llamada de Guillermo
No fue un ejemplo de casualidad
Él es mayor, que yo unos años
Ya no pensé que se fuera a casar
En la boda de primo Guillermo
Algo de mí me lo volví a encontrar
La recepción reunió en la tarde
Árboles, sombras y un jardín
Con un sinfín de rostros tan queridos
Que hoy se agigantan ante mí
La foto con mis hermanos, yo abrazo a m tía
Me hizo falta la voz del tío que ya no está
Pero por los que se van vi las sonrisas nuevas
Rostros infantiles, aire familiar
Mi abuela habló con su hermano y
Se lo dijo todo
Chistes que en la mesa subían de color
Fue cayendo la tarde que huyó en tonos rojos
Entre bailes, música, ruido y color
La boda de primo Guillermo
No fue un evento de casualidad
Hubo algo como el amor de novios
Y reencuentros que Guillermo armó
Y para cuando la noche hubo recuerdos
Que la luna iluminó
Primo, sabías que aún guardo unos soldados
Que no han ido nunca a un campo de batalla
Para cuando ande contigo
Yo no sé donde cavar trincheras
A las que quieras mirar
Si, eras mi hermano mayor y yo
Que no recuerdo
Cuando dejaste de jugar
Sería en la escuela o las fiestas
No teníamos novia
Ni teníamos otra cosa que soñar
Soñar en esos caminos que llevaban
Lejos, y que nunca nos volvieron
A juntar
La boda de Primo Guillermo
Me citó para celebrar
En la boda de Guillermo
Las copas que me tomé de más
Llevaron mi alma a sus extremos
Y desbordaron mi felicidad
Me repuse con un día de asueto
Pero el recuerdo permanecerá

Lyrics translation

The Call of William
It was not an example of chance
He's older, than I am a few years
I didn't think she was getting married anymore.
At the wedding of cousin William
Something about me I found again
The reception met in the afternoon
Trees, shadows and a garden
With countless faces so dear
That today they rise before me
The picture with my brothers, I hug my aunt
I needed the voice of the guy who's gone
But by those who leave I saw the new smiles
Childish faces, familiar air
My grandmother talked to her brother and
He told her everything.
Jokes that on the table went up in color
It was falling the afternoon that he fled in red tones
Between dances, music, noise and color
Cousin William's wedding
It wasn't a random event.
There was something like the love of boyfriends
And reunions that William set up
And by the night there were memories
That the moon lit up
Cousin, did you know I still keep some soldiers?
Who have never gone to a battlefield
For when I walk with you
I do not know where to dig trenches
The ones you want to look at
Yeah, you were my big brother and me.
That I don't remember
When you stopped playing
It would be at school or at parties
We didn't have a girlfriend.
We had nothing else to dream about
Dream on those roads that led
Away, and they never returned us
Joining
Cousin William's wedding
He summoned me to celebrate
At William's wedding
The drinks I had too much
They took my soul to its ends
And they overflowed my happiness
I recovered with a busy day
But the memory will remain
