Elephants

Los Elefantes

Elephants know how to restLos elefantes saben descansar
They will die in peaceVan a morir de paz
An elephant knows like that oneUn elefante sabe como aquél
The creator of the earth and the SunEl creador de la tierra y el Sol

And if you see how they spreadY si es que ves como se extienden
If you see how they resign themselvesSi ves como se resignan
To forget their inexplicable lonelinessA olvidar su inexplicable soledad
You will be like themSerás como ellos

They can tell you the strangest storiesTe podrán contar los cuentos más extraños
But you won't be in a hurryPero no te apurarás
Elephants know how to forgetLos elefantes saben olvidar
Look at them as they areMíralos como están

Look at its long trunks for no reasonMira sus largas trompas sin razón
How everything smellsComo huelen todo lo que está
And if you see how they spreadY si es que ves como se extienden
If you see how they resign themselvesSi ves como se resignan

To forget their inexplicable lonelinessA olvidar su inexplicable soledad
You will be like themSerás como ellos
They can tell you the strangest storiesTe podrán contar los cuentos más extraños
But you won't be in a hurryPero no te apurarás

An elephant is walking around hereUn elefante anda por aquí
Let's see him 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 tendrás que entender

And you will have peaceY tendrás calma
You will have peaceTendrás calma
And you will haveY tendrás
A white calmUna blanca calma
A white one, a white calmUna blanca, una blanca calma
A white, white calmUna blanca, blanca calma
