1. Vox Dei (Latin: God's Voice) is an Argentine rock band. Its most prolific years were the 1970s, having recorded 10 albums.
The band's original members were Juan Carlos "Yody" Godoy (guitar and vocals), Ricardo Soulé (guitar and vocals), Rubén Basoalto (drums) and Willy Quiroga (bass and vocals).
In 1968 they recorded a version of Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman", and the company Mandioca organized an audition for them in the Payró theatre. The members of Manal and Almendra were also present, and a few hours later they played together. In 1970 they recorded for Mandioca their first album Caliente.
In the B.A. Rock Festival Vox Dei played the first part of the theme "Genesis", which had no lyrics yet. In February 1971 they released La Biblia ('The Bible'). Being the first Argentine concept album, it became a turning point in the history of Argentine rock; even the Archdiocese, that had asked to examine the lyrics, recommended young people to buy it. Right after the recording of La Biblia, Jorge Godoy left the band and was replaced by Ignacio Smilari.
In 1972 they re-edited their first album and recorded the third one, Jeremías Pies de Plomo. During the first shows after the release, they recorded La Nave Infernal and a few months later Es una Nube, No Hay Duda. After Vox Dei para Vox Dei of 1974, Ricardo Soulé announced he would leave the band to start as a soloist. Carlos Michelini replaced him while recording Estamos en la Pecera in 1975, and then was himself replaced by Raúl Fernandez. In 1976 they recorded Ciegos de Siglos.
Soulé returned to the band in 1978 to record Gata de Noche. Slowly the differences between the musicians started to grow, but they respected the contract that kept them together until 1981. In 1986 Vox Dei regrouped to present and record live "La Biblia" in the Teatro Ópera. In 1988 they made a "come back", to produce Tengo Razones para Seguir with Luis Valenti. Towards the end of 1989, Ricardo Soulé the band left again. In 1992 Carlos Gardellini becomes his new guitar. With guitar Gardellini have recorded the albums: Sin Darle Ya Más Vueltas in 1994, and El Camino in 2005. They have recorded with Ricardo Soulé a remake of La Biblia in 1997 entitled La Biblia II. On November 3, 2010, drummer Rubén Basoalto dies of lung cancer. After that, the band has a not well defined future.

2. Vox Dei is a Christian Progressive Heavy Metal band from Guatemala. Vox Dei was formed in 1989 in Guatemala City, the name means God's Voice. It is usually confused with the secular band from Argenitna Vox Dei. For many, Vox Dei are the fathers of the Guatemalan White Metal.

Vox Dei Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Todo concluye al fin, nada puede escapar
Todo tiene un final, todo termina
Tengo que comprender no es eterna la vida
El llanto en la risa, allí termina

Creía que el amor, no tenia medida
O dejas de querer, tal vez a otra mujer

Y olvidé aquello que una vez pensaba
Que nunca acabaría, nunca acabaría
Pero sin embargo terminó
Todo me demuestra que al final de cuenta
Termino cada día, empiezo cada día
Creyendo en mañana fracaso hoy

No puedo yo entender, si es así la verdad
De que vale ganar, si después perderé
Inútil es pelear no puedo detenerlo
Lo que hoy empecé, no será eterno

Creía que el amor, no tenía medida
O dejas de querer, tal vez a otra mujer

Y olvidé aquello que una vez pensaba
Que nunca acabaría, nunca acabaría
Pero sin embargo terminó
Todo me demuestra que al final de cuenta
Termino cada día, empiezo cada día
Creyendo en mañana fracaso hoy

¡Cuanta verdad! (cuanta verdad) Hay en vivir
Solamente (solamente)
Importa el momento en que estás
Si, el presente, el presente y nada mas
Todo me demuestra que al final de cuenta
Termino cada día, empiezo cada día
Creyendo en mañana fracaso hoy

Todo me demuestra que al final de cuenta
Termino cada día, empiezo cada día
Creyendo en mañana fracaso hoy
Todo me demuestra que al final de cuenta
Termino cada día, empiezo cada día
Creyendo en mañana fracaso hoy
Todo me demuestra que al final de cuenta
Termino cada día, empiezo cada día
Creyendo en mañana fracaso hoy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vox Dei's song "El momento en que estás" (The Moment You're In) reflect on the transience of life and the inevitability of endings. The song opens with the lines "Everything ends in the end, nothing can escape / Everything has an end, everything ends / I have to understand that life is not eternal / Weeping in laughter, that's where it ends." The singer is acknowledging that everything in life is temporary, including joy and love, and that death is the ultimate end.

The chorus of the song emphasizes this idea, with the lines "Everything shows me that at the end of the day / I end every day, I start every day / Believing in tomorrow, I fail today." The repetition of "every day" underscores the mundane nature of life and how quickly time passes. The singer admits that they used to believe that love was forever, but they have since realized that it can be fleeting, and that one can fall out of love or find another person to love.

The final verse of the song expresses resignation to the fact that we can't control our own fate, and that sometimes we must accept things as they are. "Useless to fight, I can't stop it / What I started today won't be eternal." The song ends with a repeated refrain of "Everything shows me that at the end of the day / I end every day, I start every day / Believing in tomorrow, I fail today," driving home the message that life is fleeting and we must appreciate the present moment.
