A Villa Guillermina

The song 'A Villa Guillermina' by Duo Coplanacu is a heartfelt homage to the town of Villa Guillermina, which holds a special place in the singer's heart. The lyrics express a deep sense of nostalgia and longing for the place where the singer experienced many firsts, including dreams, love, and the forging of life's illusions. The mention of 'azahares,' or orange blossoms, evokes the sensory memories of the singer's youth, suggesting that Villa Guillermina is not just a place, but a repository of cherished moments and the sweet fragrance of the past.

The song also touches on the theme of identity and belonging, as the singer identifies as one of Villa Guillermina's children, despite the physical distance that now separates them. The lyrics convey a strong connection to the town's natural beauty, from the 'selva bravía,' or wild forest, to the 'arroyo Los Amores,' a stream that witnessed the singer's farewell. This connection to nature is intertwined with personal memories, such as the dance with a beloved 'china' (a term of endearment for a woman) and the guidance of a teacher.

The song's refrain, 'Yo soy uno de tus hijos,' which translates to 'I am one of your children,' emphasizes the enduring bond between the singer and Villa Guillermina. The celestial imagery of a divine blue sky and even brighter stars serves as a metaphor for the everlasting impact of the singer's hometown on their identity. The stars are described as an 'eternal mantle' that covers the singer's orphanhood, suggesting that the memories of Villa Guillermina provide comfort and a sense of belonging in the face of life's uncertainties.
