Los Elefantes
Los elefantes saben descansar
van a morir de paz.
un elefante sabe como aquel,
el creador de la tierra y el sol
y si es que ves como se extiende
si ves como se resignan
a olvidar su inexplicable soledad
seras como ellos,
te podran contar los cuentos mas extranos
pero no te apuraras.
Los elefantes saben olvidar
miralos como estan,
mira su largas trompas sin razon;
como huelen todo lo que esta.
Y si es que ves....
Un elefante anda por aqui
vamos a verlo andar,
mientras sea un elefante hasta el final
no tendras que entender
Y tendras calma,
tendras la calma,
Y tendras...
una blanca calma
una blanca, una blanca calma
una blanca, blanca calma.
The Elephants
The elephants know how to rest
they will die in peace
an elephant knows like that
the creator of the earth and the sun
and if you see how they stretch
if you see how they resign
forgetting their inexplicable loneliness
you will be like them
they can tell you the strangest stories
but you won't rush
The elephants know how to forget
look at them how they are
look at their long trunks without reason
how they smell everything around
And if you see...
An elephant walks around here
let's see it walk
as long as it's an elephant until the end
you won't have to understand
And you will have calm
you will have the calm
And you will have...
a white calm
a white, a white calm
a white, white calm.
