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.

2) Mexican Elefante formed in the early '90s. They had the opportunity to play for a major audience in 2000 while opening for Joaquín Sabina at Mexico City's Auditorio Nacional. A year later, the band represented Mexico in Viña del Mar, the most popular Chilean festival, with a song called "De la Noche a la Mañana." 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.

Te regalo lo que quieras
Te doy todo lo que soy
Sólo dame una sonrisa
Sólo dame lo que guardas
En tu loco corazón
Te convido de mis días
Y te invito a mi guarida
Te conpongo una canción
Si tú quieres
Caminamos por la vida
Nos curamos las heridas
Nos bebemos el dolor
Y nada me puede pasar
Con todo lo que tú me das
Y todo puede suceder
Si me besaras otra vez
Y no te pido nada más
Que lo que tú me quieras dar
El cielo conocí
Y en el cielo quiero vivir

The lyrics of Elefante's song "Si tú Quieres" express a deep desire to give everything to a loved one while asking for very little in return. The singer promises to give the person he loves the stars, everything they want, and all that he is. He tells the person that all he needs is a smile and what they keep in their heart. He offers to take them on a journey through life, heal their wounds, and drink their pain away. The singer declares that nothing can harm him as long as he has the person's love, and that anything is possible if they were to kiss again. Ultimately, he wants nothing more from them than their love and to live with them in heaven.
The song is a romantic ballad that explores the depth of love and the desire to give to one's partner selflessly. The singer tells his loved one that he is willing to offer everything he has to make them happy. He promises to be there for them as they navigate through the ups and downs of life. He also expresses his vulnerability, admitting that he needs very little to make him happy, and that all he requires is their love. The lyrics are a beautiful expression of love and the desire to give all to someone special.
