20 De Abril Lyrics in English Celtas Cortos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 20 De Abril by Celtas Cortos from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
20 April '90
Hi, babe, how are you?
Are you surprised that I'm writing you?
So much time is normal
Well, it's that I was here alone
I had started to remember
Melancholy came over me
And I had to talk to you
Chorus 1
Do you remember that night in the Turmo cabin?
The laughs that we had back then all together
Today hardly anybody from back then is left
And the ones there are have changed
They've changed, yes
Verse 2
But anyway, how are you? Tell
Maybe you even have kids
How's it going with that guy?
I hope it's fun
I, honestly, as always
I keep working at the same thing
Music doesn't tire me
But I feel empty
Chorus 2
Do you remember that night in the Turmo cabin?
The laughs that we had back then all together?
Today hardly anybody from back then is left
And the ones there are have changed
They've changed, yes
Verse 3
Well, I'll say goodbye now
If you dig it, answer me
I hope that my words
mess up your conscience
Well, babe, that's that
See you soon if we meet
I keep on with my songs
And you keep on with your dreams
Chorus 3
Do you remember that night in the Turmo cabin?
The laughs that we had back then all together
Today hardly anybody from back then is left
And the ones there are have changed
They've changed, yes

SONG MEANING

“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.
