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.

Reflejos
Vox Dei Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quiero que lo sepas bien
que no vengo a pedir favores
tomo las cosas como vienen
cuando vienen solas mejor.
Soy algo así como un espejo
reflejo lo que en él se mira
ven hacía mí con la verdad
y de esa forma ganarás.

Alcemos nuestra copa amigo
brindemos por la amistad

que es un trago muy preciado
que no a todos se nos da.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vox Dei's song "Reflejos" address the singer's desire for honesty in his relationships. He asserts that he does not come asking for favors, but instead takes things as they come. He compares himself to a mirror, reflecting back whatever is shown to him. He encourages others to come to him with the truth, promising that this will be the most productive way to interact with him. The song ends on a note of friendship, with the singer suggesting that they all raise a toast to the precious gift of true companionship.

The lyrics of "Reflejos" reflect a deep sense of introspection and self-awareness. The singer seems to be keenly aware of his own limitations and strengths, and is willing to acknowledge that he does not have all the answers. Instead of pretending to know everything, he invites others to share themselves with him, hoping that this will lead to genuine connection and understanding.

Overall, "Reflejos" is a song about the importance of authenticity in our relationships with others. By acknowledging our own fallibility and by seeking out truth and honesty wherever we can find it, we can forge deeper and more meaningful connections with those around us.
