“20 de Abril” feels like opening a time-capsule letter sent from your past self. Written in the form of a friendly note dated 20 April 1990, the lyrics capture that bittersweet moment when nostalgia sneaks up on you and you simply have to reach out to an old friend. The singer, alone and suddenly flooded with memories, chats about shared laughter in the legendary “cabaña del Turmo,” wonders how everyone has drifted apart, and playfully checks if his friend now has kids or a new partner. The song paints a vivid picture of changing lives and friendships while celebrating the unbreakable link forged by unforgettable nights around a campfire.
At its heart, the track is a warm yet melancholic salute to youth, friendship, and the passage of time. Even though the singer keeps making music, he admits to feeling “vacío” (empty) without the tight-knit crew who once laughed together. By closing with “yo sigo con mis canciones y tú sigue con tus sueños,” he reminds us that, although paths diverge, wishing the best for each other keeps that youthful spark alive. Expect a catchy folk-rock melody wrapped around a universal story: we grow up, we change, but one song—or one letter—can bring all the memories rushing back.
