Lyrics
Los elefantes saben descansar
Van a morir de paz
Un elefante sabe como aquél
El creador de la Tierra y el Sol
Y si es que ves como se extienden
Si ves como se resignan
A olvidar su inexplicable soledad
Serás como ellos
Te podrán contar los cuentos más extraños
Pero no te apurarás
Los elefantes saben olvidar
Míralos como están
Mira sus largas trompas sin razón;
Como huelen todo lo que está
Y si es que ves como se extienden
Si ves como se resignan
A olvidar su inexplicable soledad
Serás como ellos
Te podrán contar los cuentos más extraños
Pero no te apurarás
Un elefante anda por aquí
Vamos a verlo andar
Mientras sea un elefante hasta el final
No tendrás que entender;
Y tendrás calma
Tendrás calma
Y tendrás…
Una blanca calma
Una blanca, una blanca calma
Una blanca, blanca calma
Lyrics translation
Elephants know how to rest
They will die of peace
An elephant tastes like that
The creator of the Earth and The Sun
And if you see how they spread
If you see how they resign themselves
To forget his inexplicable loneliness
You'll be like them
They can tell you the strangest stories
But you won't hurry
Elephants can forget
Look at them as they are
Look at his long tubes for no reason;
How they smell all that is
And if you see how they spread
If you see how they resign themselves
To forget his inexplicable loneliness
You'll be like them
They can tell you the strangest stories
But you won't hurry
An elephant is around here
Let's see him walk
As long as it's an elephant to the end
You won't have to understand;
And you'll be calm
You'll be calm
And you'll have…
A calm White
A White, a calm White
A white, calm White
