Los Elefantes

The elephants know how to restLos elefantes saben descansar
they will die in peacevan a morir de paz.
an elephant knows like thatun elefante sabe como aquel,
the creator of the earth and the sunel creador de la tierra y el sol
and if you see how they stretchy si es que ves como se extiende
if you see how they resignsi ves como se resignan
forgetting their inexplicable lonelinessa olvidar su inexplicable soledad
you will be like themseras como ellos,
they can tell you the strangest storieste podran contar los cuentos mas extranos
but you won't rushpero no te apuraras.

The elephants know how to forgetLos elefantes saben olvidar
look at them how they aremiralos como estan,
look at their long trunks without reasonmira su largas trompas sin razon;
how they smell everything aroundcomo huelen todo lo que esta.
And if you see...Y si es que ves....

An elephant walks around hereUn elefante anda por aqui
let's see it walkvamos a verlo andar,
as long as it's an elephant until the endmientras sea un elefante hasta el final
you won't have to understandno tendras que entender

And you will have calmY tendras calma,
you will have the calmtendras la calma,

And you will have...Y tendras...
a white calmuna blanca calma
a white, a white calmuna blanca, una blanca calma
