1) Elefante was one of Uruguay's leading rock bands in the 90's, formed in Montevideo. The original lineup consisted of STELLA MARIS (voice), BESTIA (guitar), HARRY (bass), CHONIUK (drums), and MANECO (guitar and samplers).
Elefante was one of the most significative bands from that decade, mixing hip-hop, nü-metal and electronica in their music. In addition, a female voice in the front gave them a different touch. They were always linked by the Montevideo's underground.
Elefante edited three albums. "Elefante 1" (Koala Records / 2000), "Bazar" (Koala Records / 2001), and "Forma" (Koala Records / 2002).
After "Forma", the band split up in 2002.

The song was featured in Elefante's debut album El Que Busca Encuentra, produced by Nacho Bejar.

3. Redirected Elephante is the recording and performing moniker of Tim Wu, a Los Angeles-based EDM DJ/producer known for his big-room progressive house anthems and remixes of artists ranging from Clean Bandit to Lorde. He generally tends to produce pop-leaning vocal dance tracks, but he dips into slower, trap-inspired numbers as well. Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1989, Wu began playing music at an early age, receiving classical piano training before teaching himself to play guitar. He graduated from Harvard University in 2011 and initially tried to break into the music business as an acoustic singer/songwriter before switching to electronic dance music. He started out creating remixes before producing original tracks, and his first EP was released in 2013. Since then, he's released dozens of tracks and remixes, with songs like "I Want You" and "Age of Innocence" receiving millions of online streams. His debut full-length, I Am the Elephante, appeared in 2016. "Troubled," a collaborative single with singer Deb's Daughter, appeared in early 2017.

Elefante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando menos lo esperaba
Cuando no buscaba nada te encontré
Pregunté con la mirada
Tu sonrisa me invitaba
¿Para qué tantas palabras? ¿Para qué?
Y yo que me pasaba noches, días
Y yo que no creía en cuentos de hadas
Ni en princesas encantadas, no me pude defender
Y eres tú, solo tú, la que me lleva a la luna
La que calma mi locura, la que me quema la piel
Y eres tú, siempre tú, ángel de la madrugada
El tatuaje de mi alma, para siempre te encontré
Me colgué de tu mirada, me quedé con tu sonrisa
Si te vas no existe nada, si te vas
Y ahora sé, sólo sé, te cruzaste en mi camino
Encontré el paraíso y me quedé
Y yo que no creía en cuentos de hadas
Ni en princesas encantadas, no me pude defender
Y eres tú, solo tú, la que me lleva a la luna
La que calma mi locura, la que me quema la piel
Y eres tú, siempre tú, ángel de la madrugada
El tatuaje de mi alma, para siempre te encontré
Y eres tú, solo tú, la que me lleva a la luna
La que calma mi locura, la que me quema la piel
Y eres tú, siempre tú, ángel de la madrugada
El tatuaje de mi alma, para siempre te encontré
Y eres tú, siempre tú
Para siempre
Y eres tú oh, sólo tú
Para siempre
Para siempre
The song "Angel" by Elefante is a love song that starts with the singer expressing how they unexpectedly found love when they were not even looking for it. The first two stanzas paint the picture of someone who has been hurt before and has become cynical about love, but they nevertheless meet someone who changes their perspective. They met this person “de madrugada” (at dawn) when they were least expecting it, and they were drawn to their smile and didn't need many words to express their feelings. The singer is amazed that they were able to find love when they thought it was impossible.
The chorus repeats the idea that the person they met is the only one who can take them to the moon, calm their madness, and make their skin burn. The metaphor of an angel in the middle of the night, a tatuaje de mi alma (a soul tattoo), implies that the person they found is incredibly special and meaningful to them. The singer then admits that they are completely enamored with this person and couldn't resist falling for them. The phrase "Y eres tú, solo tú" (And it's you, only you) repeated throughout the song emphasizes the importance of the person they met.
Overall, the song Angel is about the unexpected surprise of finding love when you least expect it, and how that love can transform a person's life. It's a celebration of the unique connection shared between two people who've found that special someone that takes them to new heights.
