lyrics

A century and a half later, someone who understood his vision would be born in the spot where the peaceful Ceiba once stood. And his name was…

Guillermo
I wish I knew you
Guillermo
I can see right through you
Guillermo
Such a love for music
In a country that won’t conduce it

Passion for the art
Even though you’d never chart

You’re the hero and the only hero
In a country across the sea, oh
Not much gives me pride in my name
But I know you probably felt the same
Guillermo, I miss you

So, here's a fun fact for you… Francisco Morazán died the day that independence was declared for Central America… isn't that just crazy? Like, what a weird coincidence… you know? Um, it's almost too perfect to be–to be a coincidence, you know? It's crazy how things work like that

You’ve been a teacher to me
I will come to see you
We can talk for hours, Guillermo
Honduras still cries for you

Guillermo, ¡yo te quiero!
Guillermo, ¡yo te quiero!
O, Guillermo, ¿cuándo te veo otra vez?
Te extrano tanto, Guillermo
Honduras, lloramos por tí
Ya estamos en revolución

El Pueblo solo aguanta tanto! Nos está viendo nuestros ancestros, esperando que escojamos el paso correcto. Venceremos, tiene que ser! Venceremos!

(Guillermo, I love you!
Guillermo, I love you!
Oh, Guillermo, when will I see you again?
I miss you so much, Guillermo
We, Honduras, cry for you
We are already in a revolution

The Pueblo can only suffer for so long. Our ancestors are watching us, waiting for us to take the right path forward. We will overcome, it must happen! We will overcome!)

about

Syzygy Records Aliso Viejo, California

Syzygy Records isn't a label; it is a portfolio of every project I, Monty Cime, have created.
When I was 11, I learnt the word "syzygy," & in trying to show an example of it, conjectured that "art is the result of an alignment (a "syzygy") of influences & life experiences beyond one's control"—these are my "Syzygy Records."
This conjecture, I came to find out, is a tenet of historical materialism.
