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.

Niño, niño, niño mío
Niño que te salvan de las aguas
¿Por qué te salvan niño mío?
¿De dónde traes ese niño?
¿De dónde lo traes? Dímelo, río
Aguas frescas, niño niño
Río mío, tibio niño.
Es que quizás no debas morir
¿Porque te salvan niño del río?
Es que quizás debas vivir.
Aguas frescas para un niño
Aguas frescas de este río
Aguas frescas para un niño
Aguas frescas de este río.
Ahora que eres hombre yo te llamo para darte
Un grande mensaje que a la gente debes dar.
Ve y vuelve pronto que te espero para hablarte
Ya llegó el momento nos tenemos que encontrar.
No debes buscarme yo estaré en cualquier parte
Fafafafafafa fafafafa fafafa

The lyrics in Vox Dei's song "Moises" are about a child who is saved from the river and the questions that arise around his rescue. The song's narrator asks where the child came from and why he was saved. The child is a symbol of life and the unknown future, and his rescue raises questions about his destiny. The singer reflects that perhaps the child was not meant to die and is spared for a purpose. The chorus focuses on the theme of fresh water, which can be seen as a metaphor for new beginnings and the life-giving force of nature.
The second half of the song shifts to a message from an adult to the child. The adult calls the child to meet and deliver an important message to the people. The message seems to be a call for connection and unity between people, as the singer says they will be waiting everywhere for the child's return. The final lines of the song focus on the sun and the pursuit of truth and knowledge. The singer vows to seek out the sun, both literally and figuratively, to find truth and understanding.
